Auto-Sync Time Clock

4.1.8. How to Setup E-Mail and SNMP Trap Notification

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard for electronic mail(e-mail) transmission across Internet Protocol (IP) networks. While electronic mail server software uses SMTP to send and receive mail messages, user-level client mail applications typically only use SMTP for sending messages to a mail server for relaying. For receiving messages, client applications usually use either the Post Office Protocol (POP) or the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) to access their mail box accounts on a mail server.

The E-mail settings allow you to setup SMTP, ”To” and “From” e-mail accounts, and select Time Sync plus Report and Backup events for e-mail notification. The parameters for E-mail and SNMP Trap notification need to be defined if you desire e-mail notification for significant Auto-Sync time validation events. However, if you do not setup these parameters you can still obtain a record of the Auto-Sync Time Clock transactions by viewing the Reports (see Reports Utility for additional details). These clock transactions represent a history, while e-mail and/or SNMP Trap notification represents an alert for a current event.

4.1.8.1. E-mail Setup

1.Click on the E-Maillink under Notification, and the E-Mail Settings screen will appear with the SMTP tab (see Figure 4-15). Enter the “Host Name: IP Address” for the SMTP server.

2.Enter the Port number. You may need to get this information from the network administrator. Port # represents an endpoint or “channel” for network communication. Port #’s allow different applications on the same computer to utilize network resources without interfering with each other. Default port number = 25.

3.Click the Require Authentication box if authentication for e-mail is required. When Require Authentication is checked, the Username and Password are required.
