Setting Description
To Address Defines the user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for
paging, use the e-mail address for that recipient’s pager gateway account
(for example,
[e-mail]). The pager gateway will
generate the page.
You can bypass the DNS lookup of the mail server’s IP address by using
the IP address in brackets instead of the e-mail domain name. For
example, use jsmith@[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] instead of [e-mail].
This is useful when DNS lookups are not working correctly.
N
OTE: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.
Use SMTP
Server
Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
• Through the Network Management Card’s SMTP server (the
recommended option, Local). This option ensures that the e-mail is sent
before the Network Management Card’s 20-second time-out, and, if
necessary, is retried several times. Also do one of the following:
– Enable forwarding at the Network Management Card’s
SMTP server so that it can route e-mail to external SMTP
servers. Typically, SMTP servers are not configured to
forward e-mail. Always check with the administrator of your
SMTP server before changing its configuration to allow
forwarding.
– Set up a special e-mail account for the Network
Management Card to forward e-mail to an external mail
account.
• Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server (the Recipient’s option). On a
busy remote SMTP server, the time-out may prevent some e-mail from
being sent, and with this option the Network Management Card tries to
send the e-mail only once.
When the recipient uses the Network Management Card’s SMTP server,
this setting has no effect.
Generation Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
