CAUTION
File names must end with an .eml extension.
Due to the 7 character limit for full file names, it’s
advised that you use numeric titles (e.g., 1.eml, 24.eml).
Numeric titles reduce the characters of the file name, and
assist in keeping the alert files organized. However,
alphabetical titles are permitted.

monitored event, the user is sent a “Report File
Missing” message.

Sending an email alert through Telnet
To complete the process of sending an email alert, you must
send it through a Telnet session and receive confirmation.
To do so
1. Open a Telnet session. For instructions on how to do this,
see Accessing and using Telnet later in this chapter.
2. Use the “Send email” SIS command to send the alert to the
email address of a numeric mailbox (see figure 4-6). Refer
to the “Email” section of the Command/Response Table for
Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands, later in this chapter,
for specific command codes.
For example, the code for sending an alert from the 4th numeric
mailbox would be
Esc 4 SM
For information on creating monitoring and scheduling events
with email notification from the Web server, see the Pioneer tab
section, later in this chapter.
