System configuration > Notifications
Notifications
The data processor can be configured to send notifications (through email or the HBM Push application) when certain critical events occur while running tests. This feature requires the CX23-R / eDAQXR / eDAQXR-lite HOST port to be connected at all times to a network that has access to the internet.
This feature provides the user with updates when using automatic or cyclical test configurations and/or automatic upload functionality of SIE files to FTP servers, as configured. As with any feature requiring network access, the scope of this help topic is to explain exactly what is required for proper configuration of the mail server functionality and any inquiries as to what content should be put into the configuration fields must be handled by the user and their local IT administrator.
Please note that currently only one mail server and one HBM Push ID can be configured at any given time.
Also note that the mail server configuration does not support encryption of any kind. The SMTP server selected by your IT administrator to be used in mail server configurations must not require encryption. Please be sure that this detail is not overlooked as it will be a common point of failure for properly configured server details, which may still not work properly due to the SMTP server’s configuration of requiring encryption.
Click a New, Delete, Save or Cancel button to manage notification configurations.

Mail Server Name: This will be the Mail Server’s identification in the list of Mail Servers.
Server Configuration: These settings must be provided by your IT administrator.
- SMTP Server IP: This is the IP address of the SMTP server given to you by your IT administrator. This must not be a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and must be an IP address. This is a required field and may not be left blank.
- Port: This is the port to use to connect to your SMTP server IP given to you by your IT administrator. This is a required field and may not be left blank.
- From Address: This field must contain a properly formatted email address and will be used as the sender of the emails sent by the unit. If no From Address is specified, a default address will show for the unit, such as somatxr@cx23r-(serial number) or edaqxr@edaqxr-serial number. This is a required field and may not be left blank.
Configure Email Recipients
Email addresses specified in the Email Recipients list will receive any update emails that are configured to be sent by the unit. Each address must be separated by a comma (“,”) and any white space will be ignored. At least one email address must be specified in order for the email configuration to be accepted, as such, this is a required field and may not be left blank.

Select the desired configuration from the Mail Servers list and click Make active. The unit applies the new mail server settings and these settings go into effect immediately.
CAUTION
Make sure all entries are correct before making a mail server configuration active. Incorrect settings can render the email messaging system inoperable.
NOTE
Save all changes before making a mail server configuration active.

Please note that currently only one HBM Push ID can be configured at any given time. However, users can receive notifications from multiple HBM devices through the HBM Push app.
A push notification is a simple message sent to devices that opt-in to a service, which supports distant monitoring of test events. Notifications for events are selected in the web interface. An HBM Push notification can be sent to smart phones, no matter where they are. A Push ID may be shared so others may be notified about selected events through the HBM Push app. All messages are encrypted during transmission.
In the web interface, click the New ID button and the Request Push ID dialog appears.
In the dialog, enter a name appropriate for identifying Push messages. The entered Name appears beneath the supplied Push ID in the web interface. The Name is also the title under which a message appears on a smartphone.
Enter an email address to receive an HBM Push activation link.
After entering information in the dialog, click Request ID to get a Push ID.
Click Verify ID and an email is sent to the entered Email address, containing a link to activate the HBM Push ID. Follow the link in the email to activate the Push ID.
After the HBM Push ID is activated, selected notifications will result in a message sent to the HBM Push service each time the event occurs.
Click Make active to begin or Deactivate to stop push notifications from the system.
After generating or changing a Push ID, save pending changes in the web interface.
Set up a mobile device to receive HBM Push notifications
On your mobile device, install the application and register the Push ID. Follow instructions in the HBM Push application to register the Push ID. The HBM Push app is freely available from www.hbm.com, the Google Play Store or the Apple Store.
NOTE
A user will not receive notifications until the Push ID is registered in the installed HBM Push app.
Click Test Push to verify a notification is sent as desired from the system.

The Notification Configuration, Test Stop Notification Configuration and the SIE File Notification Configuration sections contain all of the available notifications that can be emailed to the specified recipient list. At least one notification must be selected for the email configuration to be accepted by the unit.
Both Email and HBM Push notifications may be sent when a selected event occurs. Deselect a checkbox and a notification for that event will not be sent.
