2.Click the corresponding Edit button to go into edit mode.

3.Add, update, or change the IP address and domain name of your mail server under Email Settings.

4.Click Save to keep the changes.

5.Click the Edit buttons to independently edit each numeric Email Address and File Name.

a.Under Email Address, enter the email address of the alert recipient in one of the numeric mailboxes.

b.Under File Name, enter the name of the file containing the alert message.

c.Click Save to keep changes to recipient email addresses and file names.

CAUTION File names must end with an .eml extension.

Due to the 7 character limit for full file names, it’s advised that you use numeric titles (e.g., 1.eml, 24.eml). Numeric titles reduce the characters of the file name, and assist in keeping the alert files organized. However, alphabetical titles are permitted.

If an email file (.eml) is missing from a scheduled or monitored event, the user is sent a “Report File Missing” message.

To finalize your new email alerts within the Web server, do the following:

6.Obtain your gateway IP address from your system administrator.

7.Click System Settings on the menu (figure 4-2) on the left side of the window.

8.Place the gateway IP address into the Gateway IP Address field.

9.Click the Submit button.

Sending an email alert through Telnet

To complete the process of sending an email alert, you must send it through a Telnet session and receive confirmation. To do so

1.Open a Telnet session. For instructions on how to do this, see Accessing and using Telnet later in this chapter.

2.Use the “Send email” SIS command to send the alert to the email address of a numeric mailbox (see figure 4-6). Refer to the “Email” section of the Command/Response Table for Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands, later in this chapter, for specific command codes.

For example, the code for sending an alert from the 4th numeric mailbox would be

Esc 4 SM

For information on creating monitoring and scheduling events with email notification from the Web server, see the Pioneer tab section, later in this chapter.
