Agent E-Mail Configuration - Network monitoring with E-mails

An IE Switch X-200 provides you with the option of automatically sending an E-mail (for

example to a network administrator) if an alarm event occurs. 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 with the time since the device started up. 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 X-200 and the E-mail address of the

recipient is configured.

● the E-mail function is enabled for the relevant event.

● there is an SMTP server in your network that can be reached by the IE Switch X-200.

● the IP address of the SMTP server is entered on the IE Switch X-200.
