Event-Related Menus and Options

Recipients Option continued

Email Recipients To identify up to four e-mail recipients to be notified of events, use one of the following:

•The Recipients option of the Web interface’s Events menu

•The Email option of the control console’s Network Menu

Setting

Description

 

 

 

Defines the user and domain names of the recipient.

 

To use e-mail for paging, use the e-mail address for the

 

recipient’s pager gateway account (for example,

To Address

myacct100@skytel.com). The pager gateway pages the

 

recipient.

 

Note: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based

 

messaging.

 

 

 

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

 

• Through the Management Card’s SMTP server (the

 

recommended option, Local SMTP Server). This option

 

ensures that the e-mail is sent before the Management Card’s

 

20-second timeout, and, if necessary, is retried several times.

Send via

• Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server (the Recipient’s SMTP

Server option). On a busy remote SMTP server, the timeout

 

 

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 effect.

 

 

Email Generation

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

recipient.

 

 

 

When you select the Local SNMP Server option for the Send via setting, you must do one of the following:

•Make sure that forwarding is enabled at that server so that the server can route e-mail to external SMTP servers.

Note: Always see your SMTP server’s administrator before changing the configuration of your SMTP server.

•Set up a special e-mail account for the Management Card. This account then forwards the e-mail to an external account.

In the Web interface, use the Email Test option to send a test message to a configured recipient.
