23.5.1   Alarm Notification via 3rd party program

To better control a dial-up connection for alarm notification email, the bwserver.ini can be modified to specify a user program (*.exe, *.bat or other):

[UserDefined]

Email_Program=YourProgram.exe

If WebAccess detects this setting, instead of using the default alarm email program, WebAccess will run YourProgram.exe ; YourProgram can be any name and must be in \WebAccess\Node folder.

WebAccess will pass a temp_File name in commandline to YourProgram. YourProgram can make dial-up connection, then run

"BwRunrpt Bwrunscr command_line_from input_program"

to send the alarm email. Your Program will need to disconnect the phone line and reset com port back to normal.
