Figure 75. Using Smart-Vue Client to test alerts (Tools Alert test)
• Generate a technical alarm for a receiver fault in order to make sure that
the configured alert chain operates as expected.
• If you have one or more critical devices, generate a technical alarm for
an module fault. Run this alarm for a group containing one or more
critical devices.
• Generate a limit alarm for a group that contains critical devices. Make
sure that the alert is transmitted reliably for each alarm you generate.
CAUTION: Testing alerts in this manner ensures that your alert media
(phone, SMS text message, siren, fax, e-mail, printer…) are technically
operational.
Note this method does not, however, enable you to verify whether you entered the
right information for phone numbers and e-mail addresses. For example, if you
enter an incomplete e-mail address for night or weekend mode, but carry out
your alert test successfully in day mode, you will not be informed whether or not
the night and weekend configurations are incorrect.
