Configuring E-Mail Notification
The PXGX UPS Card can be configured to send e-mail notification to selected recipients when an event is
triggered:
l
Configure general e-mail notification to send e-mail messages when any selected event is triggered on the
monitored UPS.
l
Configure collective e-mail notification to send a single e-mail message instead of one from each affected
UPS in the network when input power-related events are triggered.
General E-Mail
You can use the PXGX UPS Card to inform selected e-mail accounts of events and changes in status as they
occur in the UPS or to provide a status message at a predetermined time.
To configure e-mail notification:
1. Expand the Email folder on the Configuration menu and select Email.
2. Enter the IP address or host name of the SMTP Server IP/hostname (mail server) that will be used to
send the e-mail messages.
3. If you need to enter a user name and password for the SMTP server:
a. Click Advanced SMTP configuration.
If you have made changes to the Email page, a confirmation box opens. Click OK to save the settings;
otherwise, click Cancel. The Advanced SMTP Configuration page displays.
b. Enter the user name and password in the SMTP username and SMTP password fields.
c. Specify a “from” e-mail address in the SMTP Fromaddress field (for example,
UPS_1@10.222.10.111).
d. Click Apply to save the settings and return to the General Email Configuration page.
4. Click Test SMTP server connection to test the configuration for the SMTP server. The SMTP Test Results
window opens. Close the window when you are done viewing.
Note: If the SMTP test is successful, the confirmation displays immediately. A failed test response can take
longer to display. Close the window if you want to terminate the test.
5. Specify events to trigger an e-mail to be sent to all recipients:
a. Click Configure to open the Email Event Trigger Configuration page.
b. Select Select All, Select All Unbatched, De-select All, or select specific event check boxes to
indicate which events are to be included for e-mail notification.
c. Click Apply and OK to save the settings.
d. Test the event e-mail function by selecting Test Event Email. A sample e-mail is sent for the first
trigger event that is selected and saved.
e. Select Email in the Email folder to return to the Email configuration page.
Note: Input power-related events (batched items) are identified by (Input Power Bad) appended to the event
name. To avoid receiving duplicate notifications, do not select batched items if Collective Email is
enabled and one or more gateways are configured with at least one e-mail recipient for “Collective
E-Mail” on page 33.
6. To create a new recipient:
a. Select an unassigned number from the Recipients list.
b. Enter the recipient's e-mail address in the To field.
c. Click Apply. The e-mail address is added to the Recipients list.
Note: Up to ten recipients can be configured to receive event e-mail messages.
