10.9.2 Email Configuration

In order for an alarm trigger to successfully send a notification email, some network settings must first be configured properly (refer to Figure 41 and Figure 42.)

DNS Servers: Enter the dotted- decimal IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers which will be used to resolve the configured SMTP server name. Only the primary DNS server is required, but if a secondary DNS server is entered, then it will be used if the primary server is inaccessible.

Mail Server: Enter the SMTP server address as a name or as a dotted-decimal IP address, and the SMTP port (default=25) that the SMTP server listens for incoming emails on.

“From” Email: Enter the email address that will appear as the sender’s email address in the email headers.

“To” Emails: Up to four recipients can be designated to receive alarm emails. Blank entries will not be processed by the interface.

“Test Email” Button: When the “Test Email” button is pressed, the interface card will use the information currently entered in

the above-mentioned fields to send a test email. Note that you do not have to first “submit” the settings to the interface card’s filesystem (refer to section 10.9.4) in order to test them: fields can be changed and retested on-the-fly without affecting the operation of the interface card’s control protocols. When the correct settings have been confirmed with a successfully-sent test email, “submit” the changes at that time to commit them to the interface card’s filesystem: any changes made prior to submitting as described in section 10.9.4 are temporary only and will be lost if a different configuration tab is selected or if the web browser is closed.
