E -mail recipients .
Path: Configuration > Notification > E-mail > Recipients
Specify up to four e-mail recipients. Click on a name to configure the settings. See also “SMTP Server” above.
E-mail SSL Certificates.
Path: Configuration > Notification > E-mail > SSL Certificates
Load a mail SSL certificate on the NMC for greater security. The file must have an extension of .crt or
.cer. Up to five files can be loaded at any given time.
When installed, the certificate details also display here. An invalid certificate will display “n/a” for all fields
except File Name.
Certificates can be deleted from this screen. Any e-mail recipients using the certificate should be manually
modified to remove reference to this certificate.
File Name
This field is dependent on the root CA certificates installed on the NMC and whether or not
a root CA certificate is required.
Field Description
E-mail
Generation
Enables (default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
To Address
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,
[e-mail]). 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
[e-mail]. This is useful when DNS lookups are not working correctly.
NOTE: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.
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
possible to use different languages for different users. See “Changing UI Language”.
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. Choosing this setting limits delays and
network outages and retries sending e-mail for many hours.
When choosing the Local setting you must also enable forwarding at the SMTP server of
your device and set up a special external e-mail account to receive the forwarded e-mail.
Check with your SMTP server administrator before making these changes.
• 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. The e-mail is only
sent once so it could easily be lost.
• Custom: This setting enables each e-mail recipient to have its own server settings.
These settings are independent of the settings given under “SMTP Server” above.
