Alerts and Notifications
Introduction
The SERIMUX can be configured for system alerts and notifications. It sends email messages when the number of system log
messages reaches a certain value or when an alarm message is detected in the serial port data. The SERIMUX uses SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending the notifications. To use SMTP, the system administrator must configure a valid
SMTP server for sending the emails. The SERIMUX supports three types of SMTP servers: SMTP server without authentication,
SMTP server with authentication, and POP before SMTP.
The SERIMUX also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), a protocol used to manage a network and monitor
devices on a network. System and port alerts can also be sent using SNMP traps. The SERIMUX supports both versions 1 and 2
of the SNMP protocol. The main function of SNMP on the SERIMUX is to allow a system administrator to query remote devices for
information.
