  1. EMnet Setup: Notifications

  2. Notifications Previous versions of EMnet include multiple means of distributing and disseminating emergency information: • Printing Options (automatically prints incoming messages) • Public Distribution(decrypts messages and makes them available in text or XML format) • Pager Notifications(forwards incoming messages or error notifications to email addresses) The Notifications feature handles all of these functions and more in a single, highly flexible rules-based system.

  3. Notifications The new Notifications feature permits notifications for: • All incoming EAS messages, or EAS messages that fall into specific parameters • All incoming priority-level text messages, or priority-level text messages that fall into specific parameters • Outgoing EAS and priority-level text messages • Error notifications

  4. Notifications These messages and events may be disseminated in multiple ways: • Messages may be automatically printed from a single printer, or multiple printers • Messages may be forwarded to any email address, including standard email accounts, pagers, cell phones,etc. (This feature requires a local mail server to disseminate email. It also permits importing existing lists of email addresses. You may select different alerts to be sent to different email addresses.) • Messages may be decrypted into text or EDXL format, and stored in a folder on the PC for further use • The system may be configured to launch an executable when a message arrives.
