Automatic Email Alerts
The 1783-EMS switch can be configured to automatically send system alert
messages via the email client to a recipient’s email address, mobile telephone, or
portable wireless device.
This can be useful in a critical control network to alert network personnel of an
anomaly in the network as it occurs.
Events in the network like unauthorized MAC ID’s, bandwidth utilization
alarms, or port down can be communicated automatically to the responsible
supervisor.
To enable this capability, use this procedure.
1. Click the Diagnostics tab and Automatic Alerts.
The Alert page opens.
2. Enter up to six email addresses or mobile telephone numbers in the
Recipients list.
3. Click Save Recipients.
4. Click which alerts you want to automatically trigger a message by clicking
the check box next to the alert; you can select any number of automatic
alerts from the list.
5. From the top of the page, click Automatic Alerts and from the bottom of
the page, click Apply Changes.
A dialog box shows the Automatic Alert Setup page.
