Description

 

 

To

Defines the user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for

Address1

paging, use the e-mail address for that recipient’s pager gateway account

 

(for example, myacct100@skytel.com). The pager gateway pages

 

the recipient.

 

NOTE:The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.

 

 

Use SMTP

Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:

Server

• Through the Management Card’s SMTP server (the recommended

 

option, Local). This option ensures that the e-mail is sent before the

 

Management Card’s 20-second time-out, and, if necessary, is retried

 

several times. Also do one of the following:

 

• Enable forwarding at the Management Card’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 Management Card to forward

 

e-mail to an external mail account.

 

• Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server (the Recipient’s option). On a

 

busy remote SMTP server, the time-out 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 affect.

 

 

Generation

Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.

 

 

1.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.

AP9617 specifications

The APC AP9617 is a vital component for data center management and power management solutions, designed by APC by Schneider Electric. This intelligent network management card is engineered to provide enhanced monitoring and control of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), ensuring consistent power availability and optimal performance in a variety of environments.

One of the main features of the AP9617 is its ability to connect via Ethernet, enabling remote monitoring and management of the UPS status through a web interface. This functionality allows users to access real-time data on power consumption, voltage levels, and overall system health from anywhere with internet connectivity. The card supports both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and web protocols, making it compatible with various network environments.

The AP9617 also comes equipped with advanced alerting capabilities. Users can configure email and SNMP traps to receive notifications about critical events, such as power outages, battery failures, or temperature fluctuations. This proactive alert system ensures that administrators can respond quickly to potential issues, minimizing downtime and protecting valuable equipment.

In terms of security, the AP9617 incorporates robust measures, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for encrypted communications, ensuring that data transmitted over the network is protected from unauthorized access. Additionally, it supports user authentication and configurable access rights, allowing system administrators to maintain strict control over who can view or modify the UPS settings.

Physical characteristics of the APC AP9617 include a compact form factor that allows it to be easily integrated into existing UPS units without taking up excessive space. The installation process is straightforward, enabling users to deploy the device quickly and efficiently.

With its emphasis on reliability and performance, the AP9617 plays a critical role in power management strategies. By providing detailed analytics and reporting tools, it helps organizations analyze power usage trends, identify inefficiencies, and plan for future energy needs.

In summary, the APC AP9617 is more than just a network management card; it is an essential tool for ensuring the resilience and efficiency of power systems in data centers and other critical applications. Through its innovative features, technologies, and strong security protocols, it enables organizations to maintain power continuity while optimizing energy management practices.
