The station recipient manages the transfer of alarms between the alarm service and a remote station. For example, a station may send alarm notifications to a “supervisor” station – or any other remote station that is defined under the NiagaraNetwork. The station recipient component provides a place to specify the location and other details about that remote station. Station recipient properties are shown in Figure 249. The properties on a station recipient include a field for selecting the remote station, as well as alarm collection parameters.
Station recipient properties are described in the following list:
-
