 In the SMTP SMS Server field in the Alerts & Logging: SMTP &SMS menu, enter the IP address
of the outgoing mail Server (and Secure Connection if applicable).
 You may enter a Sender email address, which will appear as the “from” address in all email
notifications sent from this console server. Some SMS gateway service providers only forward
email to SMS when the email has been received from authorized senders. You might need to
assign a specific authorized email address for the console server.
 You may also enter a Username and Password, because some SMS gateway service providers
use SMTP servers which require authentication.
 You can specify the specific Subject Line that will be sent with the email. Generally, the email
subject will contain a truncated version of the alert notification message (which is contained in
full in the body of the email). However some SMS gateway service providers require blank
subjects or require specific authentication headers to be included in the subject line.
 Click Apply to activate SMTP.
7.1.3 SNMP alerts
The Administrator can configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent that resides
on the console server to send SNMP trap alerts to an NMS management application:
 Select Alerts & Logging: SNMP
 Enter the SNMP transport protocol. SNMP is generally a UDP-based protocol, though
infrequently, it uses TCP instead.
 Enter the IP address of the SNMP Manager and the Port to use for connecting (default = 162)
 Select the version being used. The console server SNMP agent supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3.
 Enter the Community name for SNMP v1 or 2c. An SNMP community is the group that devices
and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where information is sent.
SNMP default communities are private for Write (and public for Read).
