In the File Name column, enter the name (seven characters maximum) of the file containing the alert message. The message file name must have the extension .eml. Due to the seven-character limit for full file names, it is recommended that you use numeric file names (e.g., 1.eml, 24.eml, etc.).

Repeat steps 5 through 8 for each e-mail recipient address that you want to add or edit.

The Edit button changes to Save. 2. Select the SMTP Authentication Required check box, located below the Domain Name field. This enables the User Name and Password fields below the check box. 3. In the User Name and Password fields, enter a user name and a password that senders must enter in order for the mail server to authenticate the sender. For the User name, you can use any combination of letters, numerals, spaces, and symbols except the comma (,) and the single and double quotation marks (‘ and ‘’). For the password, you can use all characters except the comma. The user name and password can each be from 1 to 30 characters. You must specify both a user name and a password. 4. Click the Save button next to the Mail IP Address field to save your user name and password. To remove SMTP authentication requirement, click Edit, deselect the SMTP Authentication Required check box, then click Save. IPL T PC1 Ethernet Configuration and Control 4-17 PRELIMINARY
