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 PT-7728’s email setup from the serial, Telnet, or web console, 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 PT-7728’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.
