Email Notifications
Configuration - Alarms > Event Settings> Email Notification
To use the email alert facility, you must first ensure that a valid Dial-out number, Username
and Password have been specified and that the SMTP parameters have been set correctly.
The Dial-out number, Username and Password parameters are to be found in the
Configuration – Network > Interfaces > Advanced > PPP n pages where n is the
relevant interface number.
The SMTP parameters are to be found under Configuration – Alarms > SMTP Account.
Send email notifications
This checkbox simply enables the display of the configurable parameters when checked.
Send an email notification when the event priority is at least n
This is the lowest priority event that will generate an email alert message. For example,
if this value is set to 6, only events with a priority of 6 or lower (7, 8 or 9) will trigger an
automated email alert message. To disable email alarms, set this value to 0.
Send a maximum of n emails per day
This parameter sets the limit on the number of emails that may be sent during any 24
hour period. The intention is to prevent excessive alerts being sent when the event
trigger value is set to a high priority / low value (1, 2 or 3 for example), i.e. a value that
results in a large number of automated email alert messages being generated.
n emails have been sent today
This is a status message, indicating how many emails have been sent during the last 24
hour period.
Use email template file
This field contains the name of a template file that will be used to form the basis of any
email alert messages generated by the event logger. The default template is a file called
“EVENT.EML” that is stored within the compressed .web file. Alternative templates may
be created, but in order to be valid, these must have the “.EML” file extension and be
stored in the normal file directory. A new template having the name “EVENT.EML” will
take precedence over the predefined “EVENT.EML” template but it is recommended that a
new name is used, such as “event1.eml”.
Email To
This text field is the standard email address format for the intended recipient of the alert.
Email From
This text field should contain a valid email address that will be accepted by the SMTP
server as being authorised to send email.
Email Subject
This text field should contain a short description of the email content.
