4.5.5.1 Management - Email SNMP
SNMP Service – This option is used to enable the SNMP service. The default is unchecked.
SNMP Community – Every SNMP communication takes place using a community string. It’s configurable to either public or private. Public is the default.
Contact – This field specifies the contact name to which the SNMP trap is sent. This field allows the trap to address a particular person. It is similiar to the word “Attn:” in the subject line of an email.
Location – This field specifies the location of the iServer. For example, it can be “Boiler Control Station #3” which is the place where the iServer and the serial device are located. Each SNMP trap will have both the contact and location information in it to help identify where the trap is coming from and whom it is meant for.
SNMP Traps – This option allows the customer to enable traps in SNMP. Traps are UDP data packets sent to an IP address (Trap server IP) by iServer and contain contact and location information and also OID (Object ID) for a trap.
SNMP Trap Server IP – This field contains the IP address of the trap server located somewhere on your network. The trap server listens for SNMP traps coming from the iServer.
Email Service – This option enables the email service on the iServer. The iServer uses SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) with port number 25 to send emails. The default is unchecked.
You must have an email server (SMTP server) on your network in order to receive emails generated by the iServer.
SMTP Server IP – This field specifies the IP Address of the SMTP server.
iServer does not support SMTP server authentication.
SMTP Server Port – This is a read only field specifying the standard port number 25 used by the SMTP Server.
From – This field specifies the name of the person that will send email. It can also be an email address. Only one name or email address is allowed at a time with space or comma in between
Subject – This field specifies the subject of the email to send. All emails will have this common subject. Example of a subject can be “Alarm from iServer”.
To – This field contains the email addresses of people that will be getting the email for a particular alarm. If multiple emails are to be sent then the names need to be separated by a comma.
Reminder Interval – This field sets a reminder interval for either an email or a trap to be sent again. The allowed minimum value is 5 minutes and the maximum value is 300 minutes.
Only the options Input Pin and Serial Port Disconnected use this Reminder Interval. Power Reset email is sent only once.
IP Address Changed, iServer Accessed and Character 1, 2 options send email/trap whenever the conditions occur.
