For the Alarm Monitor to work the logger needs to know where to send the alarm
message. The Alarm Monitor software should be run on a computer that is on 24
hours a day. The IP address of that computer running the Alarm Monitor software
is entered as the “Host IP Address” on the form. Note that on the form the entry
is represented as Address:Port. The default port is 49999.
Also be aware that the computer running the Alarm Monitor program may have
a firewall also running. This firewall will probably block messages coming in on
port 49999. You will need to modify the firewall settings so that messages coming
in on port 49999 go to the Alarm Monitor.
Close the browser window.
