Global Settings: General
Use the General pane to configure SOTI Connect settings and add URLs to other SOTI systems.
| General Configuration | Use this section to select the measurement system you want SOTI Connect to use for displaying values. This does not affect the device.
The Transaction Timeout range slider allows you to set the amount of time that SOTI Connect should continue to wait for a response from a device before canceling the attempt to connect with it. This helps if you perform a lot of device check-ins at once, resulting in time-outs, or if you have a remote device type with a slow response. For regular use, the default settings should be sufficient. |
| Database Configuration | Use this section to view the name and network location of the SOTI Connect database. The values are read-only and will be created during the installation of SOTI Connect. |
| Email Configuration | Use this section to enable and configure settings for email notifications sent
by SOTI Connect rules to users.
The sender name is SOTI Connect by default, but can be configured to a different name to help distinguish multiple installed instances of SOTI Connect. The sender email, SMTP Host, and SMTP Host Port should be an address on your email server. Authentication can be either Basic or Anonymous. If you select Basic, you will need to enter the user name and password for the email account you are using. |
| SMS Configuration | Use this section to enable and configure settings SMS notifications sent
by SOTI Connect rules to users.
Once you have enabled SMS, you need to save the General Settings page before you can send a test SMS. The SMS Limit Recipient Email is for sending a notification when the daily limit of SMS messages sent has been reached. |
| Device Registry Configuration | Use this section to enable and configure settings for Device
Registry.
You will need your authentication details for the Device Registry, and a certificate file in .CER format. |
| Device License Configuration | Use this section to manage and configure alert thresholds and notifications for your device licenses. |
