Setting email alerts
The process for setting up email alerts varies slightly depending on the email alert type which the user
wishes to create.
Regardless of the alert type, the system must have access to an email server in order to relay any alert to
an email target. To set the email server, simply click under “SSM tools” -> “SSM alerting”.
Once selected, the below window will pop up. Click on the “Email server” tab and enter the IP address for
the email server on the network. If the email server is password protected, also enter the user name and
password to ensure the email alerts can be relayed out.
*Note: Companies who do not have their own email server will have to create one in either a Windows or
Linux environment for the alert functions. Once created, the server will be able to send emails to external
email accounts, such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. Some suggested mail servers include Postfix
(http://www.postfix.org/), and Microsoft embedded email functions.
