System configuration > Mail Servers
The unit can be configured to send email notifications when certain critical events occur while running tests. This feature provides the user with updates when using automatic or cyclical test configurations and/or automatic upload functionality of SIE files to FTP servers, as configured. As with any feature requiring network access, the scope of this help topic is to explain exactly what is required for proper configuration of the mail server functionality and any inquiries as to what content should be put into the configuration fields must be handled by the user and their local IT administrator.
Please note that currently only one mail server can be configured at any given time.
Also note that the mail server configuration does not support encryption of any kind. The SMTP server selected by your IT administrator to be used in mail server configurations must not require encryption. Please be sure that this detail is not overlooked as it will be a common point of failure for properly configured server details, which may still not work properly due to the SMTP server’s configuration of requiring encryption.
Currently the Mail Servers configuration only supports one mail server.
Click a New, Delete, Save or Cancel button to manage mail server configurations.
Mail Server Name: This will be the Mail Server’s identification in the list of Mail Servers.
Server Configuration: These settings must be provided by your IT administrator.
Configure Email Recipients
Email addresses specified in the Email Recipients list will receive any update emails that are configured to be sent by the unit. Each address must be separated by a comma (“,”) and any white space will be ignored. At least one email address must be specified in order for the email configuration to be accepted, as such, this is a required field and may not be left blank.
Configure Notifications
The Notification Configuration, Test Stop Notification Configuration and the SIE File Notification Configuration sections contain all of the available notifications that can be emailed to the specified recipient list. At least one notification must be selected for the email configuration to be accepted by the unit.
Select the desired configuration from the Mail Servers list and click the Make active button. The unit applies the new mail server settings and these settings go into effect immediately.
CAUTION
Make sure all entries are correct before making a mail server configuration active. Incorrect settings can render the email messaging system inoperable.
NOTE
Save all changes before making a mail server configuration active.
