 There are 4 settings on the device for influencing notifications. You can:
 
-1. **Scan device** - Completely disable the scanning of the device
-2. **Alert all events** - Enables extensive alerts of connections, disconnections, IP changes (noisy, usually not recommended)
-3. **Alert down** - Alerts when a device goes down. This setting overrides disabled Alert All Events, so you will get a notification of a device going down even if you don't have **Alert All Events** ticked.

 4. **Skip repeated notifications**, if for example you know there is a temporary issue and want to pause the same notification for this device for a given time.

 In Notification Processing settings, you can specify blanket rules. These allow you to specify exceptions to the Plugin and Device settings and will override those.
 
-1. Notify on (`NTFPRCS_INCLUDED_SECTIONS`) allows you to specify which events trigger notifications. Usual setups will have `new_devices`, `down_devices`, and possibly `events` set. Setting `plugin` might be too noisy for most setups. More info in the [NTFPRCS plugin](/front/plugins/notification_processing/README.md)
+1. Notify on (`NTFPRCS_INCLUDED_SECTIONS`) allows you to specify which events trigger notifications. Usual setups will have `new_devices`, `down_devices`, and possibly `down_reconnected` set. Including `plugin` (dependenton the Plugin `<plugin>_WATCH` and `<plugin>_REPORT_ON` settings) and `events` (dependent on the on-device **Alert Events** setting) might be too noisy for most setups. More info in the [NTFPRCS plugin](/front/plugins/notification_processing/README.md)
 2. Alert down after (`NTFPRCS_alert_down_time`) is useful if you want to wait for some time before the system sends out a down notification for a device. This is related to the on-device **Alert down** setting and only devices with this checked will trigger a down notification.
 3. A filter to allow you to set device-specific exceptions to New devices being added to the app.
 4. A filter to allow you to set device-specific exceptions to generated Events.
