  1. EMnet Features: Remote Alerter

  2. Remote Alerter is a program that works with EMnet to distribute message alerts. When a message arrives at an EMnet terminal, EMnet can send notification to other computers on the same network running Remote Alerter. Users at various other terminals can thus be informed that an EMnet message has arrived and should be acknowledged at the EMnet terminal.

  3. Configuring EMnet for Remote Alerting To use Remote Alerter, first configure your EMnet terminal for the program. Enter the Configuration dialog by right-clicking on the satellite icon and selecting Reconfigure Receiver.

  4. Configuring EMnet for Remote Alerting In the Configuration dialog, click the Remote Alerts button.

  5. Remote Alerting Setup Make sure the selected ip is referring to your local LAN’s network. Click to enable remote alerting. Note the multicast address and port shown. To run Remote Alerter, you will need to configure Remote Alerter with these numbers. Click OK.

  6. Remote Alerter Install the Remote Alerter software on the other computers in your network that you want to receive notification of EMnet messages. Upon installation, Remote Alerter will run the Configuration dialog.

  10. Remote Alerter A Remote Alert is intended to notify other stations that an EMnet message has arrived and is waiting at the main EMnet terminal. When a user acknowledges a Remote Alert, the alert will ordinarily disappear. However, if you have a remote viewing program (such as RealVNC, RDP, or PCAnywhere), it can be used to allow users at terminals running Remote Alerter to remotely access the EMnet computer, and read incoming EMnet messages.

  11. Remote Alerter To configure Remote Alerter to launch a remote viewing program when a message is acknowledged, click When I acknowledge a message alert, launch this program.

  12. Remote Alerter Then, use the Browse button to browse your computer for the correct program. If the program requires a command to be entered when it loads, you may enter the command here. RealVNC, for example, requires an IP address to be entered.
