NDue 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.

To finalize your new e-mail 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 4-4) on the left side of the window.

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