Email & SMS Tab
The Email & SMS Tab allows you to select which of the following warnings and
alarm notifications you wish to receive when such events occur. You must con-
nect an email account in order to receive notifications via email or text, because
the SMS notification services provided by the mobile carriers are email-based. If
you haven’t already done so, click on the
Setup Tab to connect an email account.
Supported SMS carriers are Alltel, AT&T, Boost Mobile, Cingular, Cricket, Sprint,
T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon, and Virgin Mobile.
Place a check in the box next to the type of event in order to receive a notification
when it occurs:
• System Warning: A drive exceeds the warning temperature threshold.
• System Alarm: The drive and/or enclosure exceeds its alarm temperature threshold or the
device fan fails.
• RAID Warning: The RAID is degraded or rebuilding.
• RAID Alarm: The RAID is invalid or has failed.
To change the temperature thresholds, go to Alerts → RAID Device Settings → Thresholds (see Sec-
tion 2.5.2).
Once you have selected your warning and alarm messages, the options inside the bottom box will
become selectable, allowing you to choose how you’d like to receive notifications.
Check the box next to “Email” and enter your email address to have messages sent to that email
address.
Check the box next to “SMS/Text” and then enter your phone number and your phone’s carrier to
have messages texted to you. Your carrier’s rates will apply to each message sent.
Setup
The Setup Tab allows you to connect an email account that Configurator can
use to send notifications when warning or alarm events occur. Contact your IT
administrator to connect an email address or to get the proper SMTP settings for
your account.
Once you have entered the settings, click the Test button to send a test mes-
sage. Click the Save button to save these settings.
If you have two-step verification enabled on your mail account, you must log into
the account and generate an app-specific password for use with Configurator.
Your account password will not work.
