5.9.11. Email Messaging Parameters

The Email Messaging menu is used to define parameters for email messages that

the RPC can send to notify you when an alarm is triggered. To define email message

parameters, access the RPC Command Mode using a password that permits access to

Administrator Level commands and then proceed as follows:

• TextInterface: Type /N (for IPv4 parameters) or /N6 (for IPv6 parameters) and

press [Enter] to access the Network Configuration Menu. Key in the number for the

Email Messaging option and press [Enter] to display the Email Messaging Menu.

• WebBrowserInterface: Place the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link on

the left hand side of the screen. When the fly-out menu appears select either the

link for IPv4 parameters or IPv6 parameters to display the Email Messaging Menu.

The Email Configuration menu offers the following options:

• Enable: Enables/Disables the Email Messaging feature. When disabled, the RPC

will not be able to send email messages when an alarm is generated.
