CAUTION File names must end with an .eml extension.

Due to the 7 character limit for full file names, it’s advised that you use numeric titles (e.g., 1.eml, 24.eml). Numeric titles reduce the characters of the file name, and assist in keeping the alert files organized. However, alphabetical titles are permitted.

To finalize your new email alerts within the Web server, do the following:

6.Obtain your gateway IP address from your system administrator.

2.Use the “Send email” SIS command to send the alert to the email address of a numeric mailbox (see figure 4-6). Refer to the “Email” section of the Command/Response Table for Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands, later in this chapter, for specific command codes.
