APC AP9606 manual Ting in Email recipients on

Events Menu

Email

Overview	You can use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send Email to
	up to four recipients when an event occurs.
	To use the Email feature, you must define the following settings:
	• The IP address of the Domain Name Service (DNS) server
	• The DNS name of the SMTP server and the From Address set-
	tings for SMTP
	• The Email addresses for a maximum of four recipients
	Note: You can use the Email feature to page an Email recipi-
		ent who uses a text-based pager gateway. For more
		information, see the description of the To Address set-
		ting in Email recipients on page 57.
DNS server	The Management Card cannot send any Email messages unless the
	DNS server is defined. The TCP/IP & DNS (Web interface) or DNS
	(Control Console) option in the Network menu accesses the setting that
	you use to identify the Domain Name Service (DNS) server by its IP
	address.
	If the Management Card does not receive a response from the DNS
	server within five seconds, Email cannot be sent. Therefore, use a DNS
	server that is on the same segment as the Management Card, or on a
	nearby segment (but not across a WAN).
	Once you define the DNS server’s IP address, verify that DNS is
	working correctly by entering the DNS name of a computer on your
	network to obtain the IP address for that DNS name.
SMTP settings	The Email option in the Network menu accesses the following settings:
	Setting		Description
	SMTP Server		The DNS name of the SMTP server.
	From Address		The contents of the From field in the Email messages sent by
			the Management Card.
			Note: The SMTP server’s configuration may require that you
			use a valid user account on the server for this setting.
			See the server’s documentation for more information.
