USER’S GUIDE

Switched Rack PDU

E-mail recipients (Administration>Notification>E-mail>recipients)

. Identify up to four

e-mail recipients.

E-mail test (Administration>Notification>E-mail>test). Send a test message to a

configured recipient.

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,

myacct100@skytel.com). 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.

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

SMTP

Server

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

• Local: Through the Rack PDU’s SMTP server. This setting (recommended)

ensures that the e-mail is sent before the Rack PDU’s 20-second time-out, and, if

necessary, is retried several times. Also do one of the following:

• Enable forwarding at the Rack PDU’s SMTP server so that it can route e-mail to

external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers are not configured to forward

e-mail. Check with the administrator of your SMTP server before changing its

configuration to allow forwarding.

• Set up a special e-mail account for the Rack PDU to forward e-mail to an

external mail account.

• Recipient: Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server. With this setting, the Rack

PDU tries to send the e-mail only once. On a busy remote SMTP server, the

time-out may prevent some e-mail from being sent.

When the recipient uses the Rack PDU’s SMTP server, this setting has no effect.

E-mail

Generation

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