Generate and send email alerts. Using SMTP, Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes, messages can be sent to any designated email client. Messages will be transmitted within 500ms but the final delivery time is determined by the internet connection, email server and client. Example – while an alert is usually dealt with locally it may be desirable for managers in other locations to be made aware of the problem. The Email Output module converts warning messages into email alerts and sends them almost instantaneously to a designated manager for information purposes.
