Setting Description, Smtp | APC ACRD501, ACRP501, ACRP500, ACRP100

SMTP (Administration>Notification>E-mail>server). Use this option to define the following settings:

	Setting	Description

	Local	The IP address (or if DNS is configured, the DNS name) of the local SMTP server.
	SMTP	Note: This definition is required only when SMTP Server is set to Local
	Server
	Server	when E-mail recipients are being configured. See “E-mail recipients” on

		page 53.

	From	The contents of the From field in the format user@ [IP_address] (if an IP address is
	Address	specified as Local SMTP Server) or user@domain.com (if DNS is configured and the
		DNS name is specified as Local SMTP Server) in the e-mail messages sent by the
		cooling unit.

Note: The local 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.

E-mail recipients. Use this option to identify up to four e-mail recipients. Click a recipient To Address to edit that configuration. Select Add Recipient to add a new recipient.

Setting	Description

To Address	Defines the user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for paging, use the
	e-mail address for that recipient’s pager gateway account (for example,
	myacct100@skytel.com). The pager gateway will generate the page.
	You can bypass the DNS lookup of the mail server’s IP address by using the IP address
	in brackets instead of the e-mail domain name. For example, use
	jsmith@[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] instead of jsmith@company.com. This is useful when DNS
	lookups are not working correctly.
	Note: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.

E-mail	Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
Generation
SMTP Server	Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
	• Local: Through the SMTP server of the cooling unit (the recommended setting). This
	option ensures that the e-mail is sent before the cooling unit’s 20-second time-out,
	and, if necessary, is retried several times. Also do one of the following:
	• Enable forwarding at the cooling unit’s SMTP server so that it can route e-mail to
	external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers are not configured to forward e-
	mail. Always check with the administrator of your SMTP server before changing
	its configuration to allow forwarding.
	• Set up a special e-mail account for the cooling unit to forward e-mail to an external
	mail account.
	• Recipient: Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server. On a busy remote SMTP server,
	the time-out may prevent some e-mail from being sent because, with this option, the
	cooling unit tries to send the e-mail only once.
	When the recipient uses the cooling unit’s SMTP server, this setting has no effect.

Format	Select Long or Short. The Long format contains Name, Location, Contact, IP
	address, serial number of the device, date, time, event code, and event description. The
	Short format provides only the event description.

E-mail test. Use this option to send a test message to a configured recipient.
