* The Record operation in the device event list only affects the recording schedule. For example, if there is a device which is configured that there is no recording (time/event) schedule from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. If an event which operation is recording, is happened during that time, it would be recorded as configured with above setting value.

* The Relay Out has the similar configurations of the device event. Please do not configure relay chains. (For example, a manual trigger of device A relays a manual trigger of device B. And manual trigger of device B relays manual trigger of device A. It makes relay chain continuously. It MAY cause endless event operations)

* The View Channel option needs event channel setting on the Live1, Live2 and Emap. If there is no event channel setting on them, it will not work.

* The Dwell Time values of the View Channel and View Layout have a minimum time out of 5 sec. If another event occurs, the view channel and layout MAY be preemptive even though the value is over 5 seconds.

* If the Aggregate Events value is 50, this would not send email until 50 events happened.

* If the Interval is 1 hour and the Aggregate Events value is 50, this would check and send email in every hour. And if the number of events is over 50, this would send an email every hour.

4.3.2 SMTP server information
