STEP 1 Select Administration > Email Alert in the navigation pane.

STEP 2 In the Global Configuration area, configure these parameters:

•Administrative Mode—Choose to enable the email alert feature globally.

•From Email Address—Enter the address to show as the sender of the email. The address is a 255 character string with only printable characters. No address is configured by default.

•Log Duration—Choose the frequency at which scheduled messages are sent. The range is from 30 to 1440 minutes. The default is 30 minutes.

•Scheduled Message Severity—Log messages of this severity level or higher are grouped and sent to the configuration email address at the frequency specified by the Log Duration. Select from these values: None, Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, and Debug. If set to None, then no scheduled severity messages are sent. The default severity is Warning.

•Urgent Message Severity—Log messages of this severity level or higher are sent to the configured email address immediately. Select from these values: None, Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, and Debug. If set to None, then no urgent severity messages are sent. The default is Alert.

STEP 3 In the Mail Server Configuration area, configure these parameters:

•Server IPv4 Address/Name—Enter the IP address or hostname of the outgoing SMTP server. (You can check with your email provider for the hostname.) The server address must be a valid IPv4 address or hostname. The IPv4 address should be in a form similar to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (192.0.2.10).

A hostname can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63 alphanumeric characters. If a hostname includes multiple labels, each is separated by a period (.). The entire series of labels and periods can be up to 253 characters long.

•Data Encryption—Enter the mode of security for the outbound email alert. The alert can be sent using secure TLS protocol or the default Open protocol. Using secure TLSv1 protocol can prevent eavesdropping and tampering during the communication across the public network.

•Port—Enter the SMTP port number to use for outbound emails. The range is a valid port number from 0 to 65535. The default port is 465. The port generally depends on the mode used by the email provider.

WAP121, WAP321 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been recognized for its innovation in networking technologies, and the Cisco WAP321 and WAP121 access points are prime examples of its commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance wireless networking solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. These devices offer a robust set of features designed to meet the requirements of modern wireless networking while ensuring ease of use and deployment.

The Cisco WAP321 is a dual-band access point that operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, providing flexibility and improved performance in crowded environments. With support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, it boasts a combined data rate of up to 450 Mbps, enabling high-speed connections for multiple users simultaneously. The WAP321 also includes advanced features such as multiple SSIDs and VLAN support, allowing businesses to segment their networks for enhanced security and management control.

One of the standout characteristics of the WAP321 is its ability to act as a lightweight access point, meaning it can be managed through a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for larger deployments. This capability allows for centralized management of multiple access points, making it easier for IT administrators to deploy, configure, and monitor their network infrastructure.

On the other hand, the Cisco WAP121 is designed for those requiring a simpler, more cost-effective solution. This single-band access point also operates on the 2.4 GHz band but still provides robust performance with wireless speeds reaching up to 300 Mbps. It is ideal for small businesses looking to develop or expand their wireless networks without the complexities associated with more advanced systems.

Both models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, enabling them to receive power through the Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power outlets. Additionally, they support advanced security protocols, including WPA/WPA2 encryption, ensuring that sensitive data transmitted over the network remains protected from unauthorized access.

The ease of setup and user-friendly management interfaces of both the WAP321 and WAP121 make them appealing options for businesses lacking extensive IT resources. With features aimed at enhancing both performance and security, these access points represent powerful tools for achieving reliable wireless connectivity in a business environment. Whether organizations opt for the WAP321 for its extensive capabilities or the WAP121 for its simplicity, both access points reflect Cisco's dedication to meeting diverse networking needs.
