Email Recipients
To identify up to four e-mail recipients to be notified of events, use one
of the following:
• The Recipients option of the Web interface’s Events menu
• The Email option of the control console’s Network Menu
When you select the Local SNMP Server option for the Send via setting,
you must do one of the following:
• Make sure that forwarding is enabled at that server so that the
server can route e-mail to external
SMTP servers.
Note: Always see your SMTP server’s administrator before
changing the configuration of your SMTP server.
• Set up a special e-mail account for the Management Card. This
account then forwards the e-mail to an external account.
I n the Web interface, use the Email Test option to send a test message
to a configured recipient.
Setting Description
To Address
Defines the user and domain names of the recipient.
To use e-mail for paging, use the e-mail address for the
recipient’s pager gateway account (for example,
[email protected] ). The pager gateway pages the
recipient.
Note: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based
messaging.
Send via
Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
• Through the Management Card’s SMTP server (the
recommended option, Local SMTP Server ). This option
ensures that the e-mail is sent before the Management Card’s
20-second timeout, and, if necessary, is retried several times.
• Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server (the Recipient’s SMTP
Server option). On a busy remote SMTP server, the timeout
may prevent some e-mail from being sent, and with this
option, the Management Card tries to send the e-mail only
once.
When the recipient uses the Management Card’s SMTP server,
this setting has no effect.
Email Generation
Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the defined
recipient.
