USER’S GUIDE

network management card

Control console. The Email option in the Network Menu, accesses the e-

mail recipient settings.

Setting Description

Address

Defines the user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for

paging, use the e-mail address for that recipient’s pager gateway account

(for example,

[email protected]). The pager gateway pages

the recipient.

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

Use SMTP

Server

Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:

• Through the Management Card’s SMTP server (the recommended

option, Local). This option ensures that the e-mail is sent before the

Management Card’s 20-second time-out, and, if necessary, is retried

several times. Also do one of the following:

• Enable forwarding at the Management Card’s SMTP server so that it

can route e-mail to external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers

are not configured to forward e-mail. Always check with the

administrator of your SMTP server before changing its configuration

to allow forwarding.

• Set up a special e-mail account for the Management Card to forward

e-mail to an external mail account.

• Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server (the Recipient’s option). On a

busy remote SMTP server, the time-out may prevent some e-mail from

being sent, and with this option the Management Card tries to send the

e-mail only once.

When the recipient uses the Management Card’s SMTP server, this

setting has no affect.

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

1.You can bypass the DNS lookup of the mail server’s IP address by using the IP address in

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

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