E-mail notification
Overview of setup. Use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send e-mail to up to four
recipients when an event occurs.
To use the e-mail feature, you must define the following settings:
The IP addresses of the primary and, optionally, the secondary Domain Name System (DNS)
servers. (See “DNS” on page 84.)
The IP address or DNS name for SMTP Server and From Address. (See “SMTP” on page 93.)
The e-mail addresses for a maximum of four recipients. (See “E-mail recipients” on page 93.)
Note: You can use the To Address setting of the recipients option to send e-mail to a text-based
mobile device.

Setting Description
Local
SMTP
Server
The IPv4/IPv6 address or DNS name of the local SMTP server.
Note:This definition is required only when SMTP Server is set to Local. See “E-mail recipi-
ents” on page 93.
From
Address
The contents of the From field in e-mail messages sent by the Rack PDU:
• In the format user@ [IP_address] (if an IP address is specified as Local SMTP Server)
• In the format user@domain (if DNS is configured and the DNS name is specified as Local
SMTP Server
) in the e-mail messages.
Note:The local SMTP server may require that you use a valid user account on the server for this
setting. See the server’s documentation.
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.
Note:The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.
E-mail
Generation
Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
