Manual Configuring monitor functions |55
» Port – Specify the TCP port through which the connection will be established. By default
this parameter is set according to the value selected in the „Type‟ field (i.e., 995 if POP3
is selected, 993 if IMAP is selected in the „Type‟ field). However, you can still specify
other port numbers by inputting them directly in the provided field.
» Timeout – Specify the connection timeout value. This value defines the time interval
required for a connection to take place. If the connection is not established within the
specified time period, a timed out will occur and an error is generated.
» This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) – Select this option if you want to
encrypted the transmission (i.e. establish a secure session by electronically
authenticating each end of an encrypted transmission).
» Use credentials set in the folder/check – Select this option to use the authentication
details specified in the check properties > „Logon Credentials‟ tab.
» Use the following credentials – Select this option to specify additional credentials (i.e.
User name and password) for authentication.
The New Check wizard automatically prompts you to configure alternative credentials
during the creation of this check. After the check has been created, you can make
changes to alternative credentials from the check properties dialog > „Logon
Credentials‟ tab.
When all the required details have been specified, click OK to save and return to the Email
Route check properties dialog.
