5.9.11. Email Message Parameters

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:

•Text Interface: Type /N and press [Enter] to access the Network Configuration Menu. From the Network Configuration Menu, type 32 and press [Enter] to display the Email Configuration Menu.

•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.)

•Port Number: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for email connections. (Default = 25.)

•Domain: The domain name for your email server. (Default = undefined.)

Note: In order to use domain names, you must first define Domain Name Server parameters as described in Section 5.9.5.

•User Name: The User Name that will be entered when logging into your email server. (Default = undefined.)

•Password: The password that will be used when logging into your email server. (Default = undefined.)

•Auth Type: The Authentication type; the MPC allows you to select None, Plain, Login, or CRAM-MD5 Authentication. (Default = Plain.)

•From Name: The name that will appear in the "From" field in email sent by the MPC. (Default = undefined.)

•From Address: The email address that will appear in the "From" field in email sent by the MPC. (Default = undefined.)

•To Address: The address(es) that will receive email messages generated by the MPC. Note that up to three "To" addresses may be defined, and that when Alarm Configuration parameters are selected as described in Section 7, you may then designate one, two or all three of these addresses as recipients for email messages that are generated by the alarms. (Default = undefined.)

•Send Test Email: Sends a test email, using the parameters that are currently defined for the Email configuration menu.

Note: The "Send Test Email" function is only available via the Text Interface.

The Western Telematic MPC series is renowned for its robust and versatile remote power management solutions. Among its offerings, the MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 stand out as exceptional products tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data center environments.

One of the key features across this series is the ability to monitor and control up to 20 power outlets, which allows for efficient resource management and reduces downtime. Each model in the series accommodates various configurations, including both switched and non-switched outlets. This flexibility makes it easier for operators to manage power distribution according to their specific needs.

The integration of real-time monitoring capabilities is another highlight of the MPC series. Users can track power consumption, voltage, and current for each outlet, enabling better decision-making to optimize energy usage. This feature contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of operations, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Communication is seamless with the Western Telematic MPC series, as these models are equipped with multiple network connectivity options. They support both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Telnet, facilitating easy integration with existing network management systems. Additionally, the devices can send alerts and notifications via email or SMS, keeping operators informed about any changes in power status or potential issues.

The MPC models are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. They come equipped with advanced surge protection, ensuring sensitive equipment remains safe from power spikes. The rugged construction of the units ensures they can withstand the rigors of data center environments, with an emphasis on heat dissipation and airflow management.

Security features are also a priority. The MPC series includes user authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized users from manipulating power settings. The ability to set user permissions ensures that only designated personnel can operate sensitive components, enhancing operational security.

Energy efficiency is a guiding principle in the design of the MPC series. By providing tools for monitoring and controlling power usage, these devices contribute to a reduction in energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals sought by modern enterprises.

In conclusion, the Western Telematic MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 are exemplary models in the field of remote power management. With features such as comprehensive outlet control, real-time monitoring, robust communication options, security protocols, and a focus on energy efficiency, these units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the telecommunications and data center sectors. By implementing these advanced technologies, operators can enhance their operational capabilities while also contributing to long-term sustainability.
