Detailed instructions on how to define each of the available state threshold types follow.

An alert state threshold is defined by specifying the state which, if reported by the sensor, will cause an 
alert condition to be reported. If the state reported by the sensor is the specified state for any length of 
time an alert condition is reported. To define an alert state threshold:

1. Start the Camera Pods, Sensor Pods, or Device Crawlers task by double-clicking on the appropriate 

icon.

2. Click Sensors... to open the Sensor Configuration window.

3. Select from the Sensors selection list the sensor for which you will define a threshold. A list of 

thresholds that have been previously defined for the selected sensor, if any, appears in the 
Thresholds selection list.

4. Click Add... to open the Select Threshold window. Select Alert State Threshold and then click OK 

to close the Select Threshold window.

5. Type in the Threshold Name field a name for this threshold.

6. Specify Basic threshold settings. From the Basic tab in the Thresholds pane:

a. Select from the Alert State drop box the state that, if reported by the sensor, will result in an alert 

condition.

b. Check the Enabled check box to enable the threshold. If this check box is not checked, the alert 

threshold will be saved but will not be active.

c. Add to the Threshold-Specific Addresses list the e-mail addresses of any personnel to whom e-

mail alert notifications should be sent if this threshold triggers an alert condition. Click Add..., 
type in the e-mail address to which the alert notification will be sent, and then click OK. 

If you’ve installed an SMS-capable modem you can deliver alert notification to SMS-enabled 
devices by entering threshold-specific addresses for them in the following format: 

sms:sms_device_address

where sms_device_address is the telephone number or e-mail address associated with the SMS-
enabled device (for example, “sms:5123334444” or “sms:user@mycorp.com”). 

7. If desired, specify Advanced Threshold settings. All Advanced threshold settings are optional. From 

These threshold-specific notifications are sent only if your appliance has one or 
more Alert Actions defined that use the Send E-Mail Message alert notification 
method and that have the Include Addresses from Thresholds check box 
checked. For more information, see “Alert Actions” on page 59 and “Advanced 
View: Creating Alert Actions” on page 161.
