Message Sender
Message Sender is used to compose and send the actual messages.
A message log is provided to monitor the status of the messages.
The date/time of any message sent through Instant Alert is automatically adjusted to take account of any time zone settings. This assumes that the remote device from which the message is sent has been configured to specify a time zone other than the current local setting and that alerts are logged using the Remote Date/Time setting.
