   2. Select the alarm, and click the Properties tab.

   1. Click the Advanced tab of the alarm.
   2. Make sure the schedule listed in the Schedule list applies at this time.
3. Make sure the alarm recipient has the correct user privileges to receive alarms, as follows:

   2. Select the user to configure, and click the Privileges tab.
