Alarm forwarding by other fx controller sms modem

Alarm from VAK2 to VAK1 and forward with a text message.

It is most relevant to use the same alarm category in the sending and receiving controller, like in this example:

1. VAK2 - Settings - EMail
A created E-mail server VAK1_GSM with the IP address of VAK1, has to be checked off.


2. VAK2 - Programming - Alarm devices
To the VAK1_GSM alarm device has been set an individualized VAK2 address and VAK1_GSM as the server. Notice: same names can be used but it is not a must.

Alarmgroup TURVAHALYTYS connected to alarm device VAK1_GSM



4. VAK2 - Programming - Alarms
