Agent E-Mail Configuration
Network monitoring with E-mails
An IE switch provides the option of automatically sending an E-mail if an alarm event occurs
(for example to the network administrator). The E-mail contains the identification of the
sending device, a description of the cause of the alarm in plain language, and a time stamp.
This allows centralized network monitoring to be set up for networks with few nodes based
on an E-mail system. When an E-mail event message is received, the WBM can be started
by the browser using the identification of the sender to read out further diagnostic
information.
E-mails can only be sent when
● The E-mail function is activated on the IE switch and the E-mail address of the recipient is
configured (see "Agent Configuration menu item").
● The E-mail function is enabled for the relevant event (see "Agent Event Configuration"
menu item).
● There is an SMTP server in your network that can be reached by the IE switch.
● The IP address of the SMTP server is entered on the IE switch.
