NOTE After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and
restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will
least affect your wireless clients.
Email Alert
Use the email alert feature to send messages to the configured email addresses
when particular system events occur.
The feature supports mail server configuration, message severity configuration,
and up to three email address configurations to send urgent and non-urgent email
alerts.
TIP Do not use your personal email address, which would unnecessarily expose your
personal email login credentials. Use a separate email account instead. Also be
aware that many email accounts keep a copy of all sent messages by default.
Anyone with access to this email account has access to the sent messages.
Review your email settings to ensure that they are appropriate for the privacy
policy of your business.
To configure the WAP device to send email alerts:
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 Addre ss—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,
