Creating a Display Disconnection Email

Global Configurator's monitoring feature enables you to configure IP Link devices to monitor many parameters of their connected audio/visual devices. This feature can be used to monitor a display connection and send an alert email to the administrator if a display is unexpectedly disconnected from the network.

Note: The display port of a System 5 IP is shown as an example. However, the monitoring function is available for use with many other IP Link and audio/visual devices.

To create a display disconnection email alert:

  1. Select a Display Port in the IP Link Tree window.

  1. Click the Monitor tab.

  2. Click the Add Monitor button.
