The Email Parameters menu is used to define parameters for email messages that the MPC can send to notify you when an alarm is triggered. To define email message parameters, access the MPC Command Mode using a password that permits access to Administrator Level commands and then proceed as follows:

•Web Browser Interface: Click on the "Email Messages" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the Email Configuration Menu.

The Email Configuration menu offers the following options:

•Enable: Enables/Disables the Email Messaging feature. When disabled, the MPC will not be able to send email messages when an alarm is generated.

(Default = On.)

•SMTP Server: This prompt is used to define the address of your SMTP Email server. (Default = undefined.)
