The steps of configuring are:
1. Create an object, a communication line and a device (GSM modem) in the configuration database using SCADA-Administrator.
2. Import the above data into SCADA-Communicator and make sure that the connection with the modem is established.
3. Configure user interface.In case of configuring email notifications there is no physical devices, but you should also add a device of type Email into the configuration database.
Please ask for details during the process of configuration.
There is an article detailed describes how to add devices to the system: http://rapidscada.org/connecting-devices-using-modbus-protocol/
In the article a Modbus device is added, but the ideas are the same.The general sequence of configuring:
