server can route email to external SMTP servers.

Description
To Address
Defines the user and domain names of the recipient.
To use email for paging, use the email address for the recipient’s
pager gateway account (for example,
myacct100@skytel.com
). The
pager gateway generates the page.
Note:
The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based
messaging.
Send via
Lets you choose one of the following methods for routing email:
• Send email through the Environmental Monitoring Unit’s SMTP
server. Selecting
Local SMTP Server
, which is the recommended
option, ensures that the email is sent before the unit’s 20-second
timeout, and, if necessary, is retried several times.
• Send email directly to the recipient’s remote SMTP server. If you
select the
Recipient’s SMTP Server
option, and the remote SMTP
server is busy, the timeout may prevent some email from being sent,
With this option, the management card tries to send the email only
once.
When the recipient uses the Environmental Monitoring Unit’s SMTP
server, this setting has no effect.
Email
Generation
Enables (by default) or disables sending email to the defined
recipient.
