Email address fields

The eight Email Address fields identify the e-mail addresses of the personnel to whom the CrossPoint or MAV switcher BME 0 e-mails notification of its failure and repair status. Standard e-mail address conventions (nnnnn@xxx.com) apply.

The check boxes and drop boxes associated with each address field permit the operator to specify criteria under which the BME will e-mail recipients. In the associated Missing Inputs drop boxes, select the inputs to monitor for presence or absence of a signal. Check the Fans and Power boxes to monitor the cooling and power supplies. In the associated E-Mail Options drop box, select whether the recipient is to be e-mailed of failures, fixes, or both; not notified; or be removed from the e-mail list. The Suspend option is useful for temporarily removing personnel from the e-mail list when they are unavailable, such as on travel or vacation. Deleting an e-mail addressee and clicking the Submit button removes the recipient from e-mail notification completely.
