To use the e-mail feature, you must define the following settings:
• The IP addresses of the primary and, optionally, the secondary Domain Name System (DNS) servers.
(See “DNS” on page55.)
• The IP address or DNS name for SMTP Server and From Address. (See “SMTP” on page64.)
• The e-mail addresses for a maximum of four recipients. (See “E-mail recipients” on page 64.)
You can use the To Address setting of the recipients option to send e-mail to a text-based
pager.

Setting Description
Local

Server
The IPv4/ IPv6 address or DNS name of the local SMTP server.
Note: This definition is required only when SMTP Server is set to Local. See “E-mail recipients” on
page64.
From
Address
The contents of the From field in e-mail messages sent by the NMC:
•In the format user@ [IP_address] (if an IP address is specified as Local SMTP Server)
•In the format user@domain (if DNS is configured and the DNS name is specified as Local SMTP
Server) in the e-mail messages.
Note: The local SMTP server may require that you use a valid user account on the server for this setting.
See the server’s documentation.
Setting Description
To Add ress
The user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for paging, use the e-mail address for the
recipient’s pager gateway account (for example, myacct100@skytel.com). The pager gateway
will generate the page.
To bypass the DNS lookup of the mail server’s IP address, use the IP address in brackets instead of
the e-mail domain name, e.g., use jsmith@[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] instead of jsmith@company.com. This is
useful when DNS lookups are not working correctly.
Note: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.
E-mail
Generation Enables (default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
SMTP Server
Select one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
•Local: Through the site-local SMTP server. This recommended setting ensures that the e-mail is
sent using the site-local SMTP server.
•Recipient: Through the recipient's SMTP server. The NMC performs an MX record look-up on the
recipients e-mail address and uses that as its SMTP server.
Format The long format contains Name, Location, Contact, IP address, serial number of the device, date and
time, event code, and event description. The short format provides only the event description.
Language Chose a language from the drop-down list and any mails will be sent in that language. It is poss ible t o
use different languages for different use rs . See “Adding and Changing Language Packs” on page80.
