Defining Email Alerts (SMTP)

The NAS server lets you automatically notify individuals via email if there is a

hardware failure or a critical system alert.

Note

The information on this screen is optional. Blank fields do not

affect the functionality of the device. In the event of a hardware

failure or system alert, messages are sent through the network

management tool or they are logged in the system log.

To set up automatic notification:

1

In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.

2

Navigate down the tree to Alerts/Logging, then select SMTP Email Alerts.

3

Select Actions > Edit SMTP Values.

4

Enter the name of the email server in the SMTP Server Name field. The

email server must be an IP address or a fully qualified name (such as

alpha.corp.com). You must specify an email server if you want to define

one or more email recipients.

5

Click Add and enter the email address that should receive alerts. Click OK.

Click Add for any additional email addresses you want to add. You can

also:

Edit an existing email by selecting it from the table and clicking Edit.

Delete an entry by selecting it from the table and clicking Delete.

6

Click OK.

7

You can send a test email to make sure your settings are correct by

selecting the recipient from the list and clicking Actions > Send test email

to selected address.

See Appendix B, SNMP Trap Definitions for a list of the traps sent by the NAS

server.
