Using Auto Warning
Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always
know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial DSL Ethernet extender that
connects to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time alarm messages. Even when control
engineers are out of the control room for an extended period of time, they can still be informed of the status of
devices almost instantaneously when exceptions occur. The MOXA DSL Ethernet extender supports system
warning by email with the event triggered.
Configuring Email Warning
The Auto Email Warning function uses e-mail to alert the user when certain user-configured events take place.
Three basic steps are required to set up the Auto Warning function:
Configure Email Event Types
Select the desired Event types from the Console or Web Browser Event type page (a description of each event
type is given later in the Email Alarm Events setting subsection).
Configure Email Settings
To configure a Moxa DSL Ethernet extender’s email setup from the serial, Telnet, or web console, enter your
Mail Server IP/Name (IP address or name), Account Name, Account Password, Retype New Password, and the
email address to which warning messages will be sent.
Activate your settings and if necessary, test the email
After configuring and activating your Moxa DSL Ethernet extender’s Event Types and Email Setup, you can use
the Test Email function to see if your e-mail addresses and mail server address have been properly
configured.
