Sending e-mail and pager notifications
This section documents NetCentral II Lite. For NetCentral III Lite click Help | Help
Topics to view similar documentation.
The Send Mail action is the only e-mail action available in NetCentral Lite. This
action sends the full text of the alarm or warning message as e-mail to the address that
you specify. In order to configure properties and add this action, prepare the following
information:
• The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server name or IP address for the
server that will send e-mail from the media platform. Do not confuse this with IP
addresses used for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) configuration
elsewhere to send SNMP messages to the manager software.
• The e-mail address to which you want to send the message.
• The e-mail address that you want to appear on the “From” line of the e-mail sent
from NetCentral Lite.
You can also use this action to notify a pager or cell phone if the pager or cell phone
service is able to accept e-mail messages. One example of an address to which you
might send an e-mail is (501)[email protected]. Remember that many pager
systems limit the number of characters allowed in a message, so not all of the alarm
message would be transmitted if it exceeds that number.
To configure properties for sending e-mail
1. Choose Configure | Actions or Actions | Set Actions , create a rule for the Send Mail
Action, and click the Add to List button as explained in “To add an action” on
page 138. The E-mail Configuration dialog box appears.
2. As indicated by the interface text, enter the e-mail and server address information.
3. Click the Test button to send a test message to the recipient. A message box will be
displayed to report the results of the e-mail test.
4. When you are satisfied with your settings, click the OK button to close the dialog
box and save your settings.
