The Alarms tab in AVL Administrator can be used to set up notifications based on the position and conditions of pre-defined vehicles and parameters. The AVL Service scans the fleet every few seconds and looks for any defined alarm conditions. Whenever one of these conditions is detected, an email or text message is immediately sent out to one or more recipients if configured in the alarm. Notifications will be sent to whoever is added to each alarm parameter. If no one is designated to receive alarms, notifications will be written to the historic record and may be queried in the History Tab. (Visibility of this tab and/or the options available depend on the permissions set on the Users Tab.)
Getting started overview
1) If using alarms for the first time, click the Email Setup button and configure the email setup.
2) Click the "Send Test Email" link to confirm that the email server settings are correct.
3) Click the "Add Alarm" link to add the first alarm.
4) Select one of the alarm types and then provide the requested information.
5) When the new alarm is added to the alarm condition list, then it is armed and ready to go.
