Configuring SMTP

The SMTP settings are used to specify an outgoing email server for the Appliance.

Each appliance typically has one email server used to send alert notifications and scheduled reports. If you do not define a server, the appliance cannot send email.
Note: If any of the SMTP settings or the Originating Email field are changed, you must re-synchronize triggers.

Procedure

  1. Select Administration > System Settings > Remote Servers.
  2. In the Server text field, enter the IP address for the mail server.
  3. In the Port text field, enter the SMTP port for the mail server. The default port is 25.
  4. In the User ID text field, enter the username for the mail server if it requires one.
  5. In the Password text field, enter the password for the mail server if it requires one.
  6. In the Verify Password text field, enter the password for the mail server again to confirm the password.
  7. Click Update to save your entries or changes.
