You can setup a HAWK to send an email when an alarm occurs. You can set it to send an email if any alarm occurs or only if important alarms occur. Different recipients can be setup to receive different types of alarm.

Step 1

Open the email palette.

Drag and drop an EmailService object into the Services section of your station.

Drag and drop an OutgoingAccount object into the EmailService.

Double-click the OutgoingAccount and enter the properties for your email account.
