Setting

Description

 

 

 

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,

To Address

myacct100@skytel.com). The pager gateway pages the

 

recipient.

 

Note: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based

 

messaging.

 

 

 

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.

Send via

• 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.

 

 

 

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.

In the Web interface, use the Email Test option to send a test message to a configured recipient.
