Chapter 4. Administration

Alert Settings:

The Port Alert Settings dialog box provides a way for you to be informed via email about problems that may occur on the devices connected to the SN0108

/SN0116's ports. When a device has a problem - such as a critical error that requires a reboot - debug messages can be sent through its COM port.

Note: This function only works when the Operating Mode is set to Console Management (see Operating Mode, page 34).

When the SN0108 / SN0116 receives such a message, it can send an email to inform the user specified here of the problem. You can have up to 10 types of alert emailed to you when a device generates them.

To configure a port to provide alert notification, do the following:

1.Select it in the Select column of the Port Configuration dialog box (see page 31), then click the Alert Settings button. A dialog box, similar to the one below, appears:

2. Use the Alert String fields to specify the alerts you want to receive.
