Requirements for

To use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send e-mail when

using SMTP

an event occurs, you must define the following settings:

 

• The IP address of the domain name service (DNS) server.

 

• The DNS name of the SMTP server and the From Address set-

 

tings for SMTP.

 

• The e-mail addresses for a maximum of four recipients.

 

Note: To page an e-mail recipient who uses a text-based

 

 

pager gateway, see the description of the To Address

 

 

setting in Email Recipients on page 31.

DNS server

To enable the Management Card to send e-mail messages, you must

 

use the TCP/IP & DNS option (Web interface) or DNS option (control

 

console) in the Network menu to identify the domain name service

 

(DNS) server by its IP address.

 

If the Management Card does not receive a response from the DNS

 

server within five seconds, e-mail cannot be sent. Therefore, use a DNS

 

server on the same segment as the Management Card or on a nearby

 

segment (but not across a WAN).

 

After you define the DNS server’s IP address, verify that DNS is working

 

correctly by entering the DNS name of a computer on your network to

 

obtain the IP address for that DNS name.
