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.

The Monitored Conditions Wizard dialog box opens (see below).

 

  1. Enter a unique name in the Monitored Condition Name field.

  2. Click Next.

  1. Select a Subject Port (device).

  2. Select Available Options > Connection Status Is Disconnected.

  3. Click Apply Condition.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Click Next a second time to add an email notification.

  1. Select Email Messages > Disconnect Notification.

  2. Select the desired Contacts.

  3. Click Apply Email / Contacts.
