The Email Messaging menu is used to define parameters for email messages that the
VMR/NPS can send to notify you when an alarm is triggered. To define email message
parameters, you must access the VMR/NPS 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 Messaging menu offers the following options:
• Enable: Enables/Disables the Email Messaging feature. When disabled, the VMR/
NPS will not be able to send email messages when an alarm is generated.
(Default = Off)
