Apex/AC3 Alarm

[tuckdaway]

I was thinking about setting up an alarm on my Apex to send me a status every hour or so.

There are periods of time where I do not have access to a PC or the internet and just curious to see how things are trending via blackberry.

Thoughts on how I could do this? Through a virtual timer?

Also guessing I could have something alarm like on a given pH range of say 7.9<pH<8.3 that I know would continuously alarm and have it only repeat every 120 minutes?

Yes, I have been trying to get it to work (I have Opera) haven't been able to log in...works fine on PC.

Has anyone been able to access Apex from Windows Mobile phone?

To access your Apex from your mobile, you will have to allow access through your router from the outside. Have you done that?

Do you want the email all day every day? If so, just manually set the email alarm to "on". Using the default settings, this will send you an email avery 60 minutes.

If you want it less frequently, add this line to your email alarm outlet:

OSC 119:00/001:00/00:00 then ON

The first number is the how long the trigger is off (119 minutes) the second number is how long it is on (1 minute). This will trigger the alarm every 120 minutes. Make sure this is the last statement on your email alarm outlet to that if another item triggers the alarm, the "Alarm Statement" at the top of the email will refer to the triggered alarm rather than the OSC statement.

Great, thanks, for now going to add the OSC command...headed out of the country for 2 weeks today...trying to get last minute items buttoned up.

Do you ever have the apex lock up trying to update graphs or load a page? When it happens the only thing I have found to remedy is to go into net setup and do a restart. Which will obviously be difficult from Thailand
