Traffic-Overload 
The port’s traffic surpasses the Traffic-Threshold for that port 
(provided this item is Enabled). 
Traffic-Threshold (%) 
(0 to 100 %) 
Enter a non-zero number if the port’s Traffic-Overload item is 
Enabled. 
Traffic-Duration (sec.) 
(1 to 300 sec.) 
A Traffic-Overload warning is sent every Traffic-Duration 
seconds if the average Traffic-Threshold is surpassed during 
that time period. 
NOTE: The Traffic-Overload, Traffic-Threshold (%) and Traffic-Duration (sec) Port Event 
items are related. If the Traffic-Overload event is enabled, then ensure to set a nonzero 
Traffic-Threshold percentage, as well as a Traffic-Duration between 1 and 300 seconds. 
NOTE: If a warning mail is sent by the Switch the sender mail address automatically is 
created by combination of the parameters “Switch Name”, “Location” (Menu Basic settings 
 System) and character “@”. 
Format of sender mail address: < Switch Name>@< Switch Location>. 
If mail warnings will be used please ensure that the combination of parameters “Switch 
Name” and “Location” results to be a valid mail address. For this reason the parameter 
“Switch Name” must be a vaild mail prefix and the parameter “Location” has to be 
configured like to be a domain name. 
Example: Switch Name = Managed_Switch and Location = myDepartment.de 
Automatically created sender mail address = Managed_Switch@myDepartment.de 
► Do not use blanks or special characters for both parameters which would result in an 
unvalid mail address otherwise the receiving mail server would not accept the warning 
mail.
