Configuring the E-mail Notification Server
The low-water mark is the level up to which the number of alarms must drop before alarms can be
restarted. The default value is 1. The low-water mark value should be less than the high-water mark
value.

above which the WAAS device enters the alarm overload state. The default value is 10.
Step 6 Click Submit to save the settings.
To configure alarm overload detection from the CLI, you can use the alarm overload-detect global
configuration command.
Configuring the E-mail Notification Server
You can schedule reports to be generated periodically, and when they are generated, a link to the report
can be e-mailed to one or more recipients. (For details, see the “Managing Reports” section on

Step 5 In the Server Username field, enter a valid e-mail account username.
Step 6 In the Server Password field, enter the password for the e-mail account.
Step 7 In the From Address field, enter the e-mail address shown as the sender of the e-mail notification.
Step 8 Click Submit.
Using IPMI over LAN
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) over LAN provides remote platform management
service for WAVE-294/594/694/7541/7571/8541 appliances. IPMI is an open standard technology that
defines how administrators monitor system hardware and sensors, control system components, and
