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
alarm 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 EDS-726 supports different approaches to warn engineers automatically, such as
email and relay output. It also supports two digital inputs to integrate sensors into your system to
automate alarms by email and relay output.
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 Alarm Events setting subsection).
2. Configuring Email Settings
To configure EDS-726’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 if necessary, test the email
After configuring and activating your EDS-726’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.
