Using Auto Warning
Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will
not always know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial
Ethernet switch that connects to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time
warning messages. Even when control engineers are out of the control room for an extended
period of time, they can still be informed of the status of devices almost instantaneously when
exceptions occur. MOXA EtherDevice Switch supports different approaches such as email and
relay output to warn engineers automatically.
Configuring Email Warning
The Auto Email Warning function uses e-mail to alert the user when certain user-configured
events take place.
Three basic steps are required to set up the Auto Warning function:
1. Configuring Email Event Types
Select the desired Event types from the Console or Web Browser Event type page (a
description of each event type is given later in the Email Warning Events setting subsection).
2. Configuring Email Settings
To configure EDS’s email setup from the Console interface or browser interface, enter your
Mail Server IP/Name (IP address or name), Account Name, Account Password, Retype New
Password, and the email address(es) to which warning messages will be sent.
3. Activate your settings and test email if necessary
After configuring and activating your MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s Event Types and Email
Setup, you can use the Test Email function to see if your e-mail addresses and mail server
address have been properly configured.
