8 Setting up email alerts
The Email Setup page displays the current configuration for sending out event notifications—which
may be Warnings, Alerts or Information—via email. The Email Setup page includes information
needed to route the email (SMTP server), as well as the association of event types with destination
email addresses. A single event can generate a notification to multiple email addresses. Also,
different sets of events can generate notifications to different email addresses.
Select Email from the Device Configuration menu item to display the current email setup.
