AirVision can email specific flag information (alarms), ADVP rule notices, or scheduled reports to selected recipients. To set up the email service, follow these steps:

1. Enable Email Service:
Open Configuration Editors > Server Configuration and double-click the Executive in the tree menu. Click the Service Components tab and be sure Email Service Enabled and Auto Start are selected (Figure 3-3). If you make changes, click Save. If the plug-in is not in your list, you can add it here.

You may also use the "Add Address" function to add multiple email addresses, and designate specific emails for specific functions (e.g., alarms to cellphone/SMS, reports to desktop).

4. Define Email Alarms:
In Configuration Editors > Email Alarm Trigger Editor, enter an Alarm Name, Average Interval and a Site (Figure 3-28).
