DNS servers

The Management Card cannot send any email messages unless at least

the

IP address of the primary DNS server is defined (see DNS).

The Management Card will wait a maximum of 15 seconds for a response

from both the primary and secondary

DNS servers. If the Management Card

does not get a response within that time, email cannot be sent. Therefore,

use

DNS servers that are on the same segment as the Management Card,

or on a nearby segment (but not across a

WAN ).

Once you define the

IP addresses of the DNS servers, verify that DNS is

working correctly by entering the

DNS name of a computer on your network

to see if you can look up the

IP address for that DNS name.

SMTP settings

The Email option in the Network menu accesses the following settings:

Setting Description

SMTP Server

Defines the

SMTP server by its DNS name.

NOTE:This definition is only required when the Use SMTP Server

option (see Email Recipients) is set to Local SMTP Server.

From Address

Defines the contents of the From field in the email messages sent

by the Management Card.

NOTE:The SMTP server’s configuration may require that you use a

valid user account on the server for this setting. See the

server’s documentation for more information.
