4. Click Save to save the information.
5. Click the Edit button at the end of the first address row in which you want to
enter a new address or edit the existing one. The Edit button changes to Save
(see the illustration above).
6. Enter the alert recipient’s e-mail address in the numbered box under Email
Address.
7. 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.). Numeric titles reduce the
characters in the file name and assist in keeping the alert files organized.
However, alphabetic titles are permitted.
8. Click the Save button beside the file name that you entered. The e-mail alert
information is saved on the PC1, and the Save button becomes Edit again.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for each e-mail recipient address that you want to
add or edit.
Setting up SMTP authentication
On the Email Alerts screen, you can also specify that SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol) authentication is needed for the PC1 to send mail to the e-mail server.
To set the PC1 to require SMTP authentication before the server accepts any e-mail,
1. To enable the SMTP authentication fields, click the Edit button at the right of
the Mail IP Address field. 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.
