Event Types
Event Types can be divided into two basic groups: System Events and Port Events. System
Events are related to the overall function of the switch, whereas Port Events are related to the
activity of a specific port.
System Event Warning e-mail is sent when…
Switch Cold Start Power is cut off and then reconnected.
Switch Warm Start EDS is rebooted, such as when network parameters
are changed (IP address, netmask, etc.).
Power Transition (OnÆOff) EDS is powered down.
Power Transition (OffÆOn) EDS is powered up.
Configuration Change Activated Any configuration item is changed.
Comm. Redundancy Topology
Changed
If any Spanning Tree Protocol switches have
changed their position (applies only to the root of the
tree).

path is activated.
Authentication Failure An incorrect password is entered.
Port Event Warning e-mail is sent when…
Link-on The port is connected to another device.
Link-off
The port is disconnected (e.g., the cable is pulled
out, or the opposing device shuts down).
Traffic-Overload
The port’s traffic surpasses the Traffic-Threshold for
that port (provided this setting is Enabled).
Traffic-Threshold (%)
Enter a nonzero number if the port’s
Traffic-Overload setting is Enabled.
Traffic-Duration (sec.)
A Traffic-Overload warning is sent every
Traffic-Duration seconds if the average
Traffic-Threshold is surpassed during that time
period.
NOTE
The Traffic-Overload, Traffic-Threshold (%), and Traffic-Duration (sec.) Port Event settings
are related. If you Enable the Traffic-Overload event, then be sure to enter a nonzero
Traffic-Threshold percentage, as well as a Traffic-Duration between 1 and 300 seconds.
NOTE
Warning e-mail messages will have the sender field in the form:
Moxa_EtherDevice_Switch_0001@Switch_Location
where Moxa_EtherDevice_Switch is the default Switch Name, 0001 is EDS’s serial number, and
Switch_Location is the default Server Location.
Refer to the Basic Settings section to see how to modify Switch Name and Switch Location.
