Send SMS


One of the two Events Reporting types is via SMS messages. When an Events Reporting rule is configured to send SMS, the devices will send out an SMS message from the currently active SIM card to the phone number specified in a rule's configuration.

Send email


When an Events Reporting rule is configured to send emails, the device (this RUT950) will connect to an existing email account when a user specified trigger event occurs and send an email to another email address informing of the occurred event.

In order to send emails, the device requires access to an existing email account. You can configure email accounts in the System → Administration → Recipients page. Allowing access to less secure apps may be required for some email service providers.
