Configuring Email Warning

The Auto Email Warning function uses e-mail to alert the user when certain user-configured events take place.

Three basic steps are required to set up the Auto Warning function:

1.Configuring Email Event Types

Select the desired Event types from the Console or Web Browser Event type page (a description of each event type is given later in the Email Alarm Events setting subsection).

2.Configuring Email Settings

To configure EDS-518A’s email setup from the Console interface or browser interface, enter your Mail Server IP/Name (IP address or name), Account Name, Account Password, Retype New Password, and the email address to which warning messages will be sent.

3.Activate your settings and if necessary, test the email

After configuring and activating your EDS-518A’s Event Types and Email Setup, you can use the Test Email function to see if your e-mail addresses and mail server address have been properly configured.

Event Type

Event Types can be divided into two basic groups: System Events and Port Events. System Events are related to the overall function of the switch, whereas Port Events are related to the activity of a specific port.
