E-mail notification

Overview of setup. Use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send e-mail to up to four

recipients when an event occurs.

To use the e-mail feature, you must define the following settings:

• The IP addresses of the primary and, optionally, the secondary Domain Name System (DNS)

servers. (See “DNS” on page 62.)

• The IP address or DNS name for SMTP Server and From Address. (See “SMTP” on page 71.)

• The e-mail addresses for a maximum of four recipients. (See “E-mail recipients” on page 71.)

Note: You can use the To Address setting of the recipients option to send e-mail to a text-based

mobile device.

Setting Description

Local

SMTP

Server

The IPv4/IPv6 address or DNS name of the local SMTP server.

Note:This definition is required only when SMTP Server is set to Local. See “E-mail recipi-

ents” on page 71.

From

Address

The contents of the From field in e-mail messages sent by the Rack PDU:

• In the format user@ [IP_address] (if an IP address is specified as Local SMTP Server)

• In the format user@domain (if DNS is configured and the DNS name is specified as Local

SMTP Server

) in the e-mail messages.

Note:The local SMTP server may require that you use a valid user account on the server for this

setting. See the server’s documentation.

Setting Description

To Address The user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for paging, use the e-mail address

for the recipient’s pager gateway account (for example, [email protected]). The

pager gateway will generate the page.

To bypass the DNS lookup of the mail server’s IP address, use the IP address in brackets

instead of the e-mail domain name, e.g., use jsmith@[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] instead of

jsmith@company.com. This is useful when DNS lookups are not working correctly.

Note:The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.

E-mail

Generation

Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
