Switched Rack PDU

USER’S GUIDE

®

Setting	Description
SMTP	Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
Server	• Through the SMTP server provided with the Rack PDU (the
	recommended option, Local). This option ensures that the e-mail is
	sent before the 20-second time-out for the Rack PDU, and, if necessary,
	is retried several times. Also do one of the following:
	• Enable forwarding at the SMTP server provided with the Rack PDU
	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 Rack PDU 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 Rack PDU tries to send the e-mail
	only once.
	When the recipient uses the SMTP server provided with the Rack PDU,
	the Recipient’s setting has no effect.
Generation	Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
Format	Selects the format used for e-mail messages:
	Short: Identifies only the event that occurred. For example:
	Switched Rack PDU: Overload threshold exceeded
	Long: Includes information about the Rack PDU and the event. For
	example:
