Configuring SMTP Alerts
Most SMTP servers check the sender’s email address with the host domain
name to verify the address as authentic. Consequently, when assigning an
email address for the device email address, any arbitrary username with the
registered hostname may be used. An example is username@company.com.
To configure the Digi CM for SMTP alerts, the following parameters are required:
SMTP server - Use either the hostname or the IP address.
Device mail address - Specify the sender’s email address for the log and
alarm delivery.
SMTP mode - Specify the type of SMTP server to use.
Username and password - These fields are required for POP before SMTP
and SMTP with authentication servers.
To configure SMTP alerts on the Digi CM, do the following:
1. Access the web interface.
2. Under the Network heading, choose SMTP configuration.
3. Fill in the required fields. SMTP with authentication and POP before SMTP
require usernames and passwords.
4. Click Save & apply.
