Server User Manual

 In the SMTP Server field, enter the outgoing mail Server’s IP address.
 If this mail server uses a Secure Connection, specify its type.
 You may enter a Sender email address which will appear as the “from” address in all email
notifications sent from this console server. Many SMTP servers check the sender’s email address
with the host domain name to verify the address as authentic. So it may be useful to assign an
email address for the console server such as [e-mail]
 You may also enter a Username and Password if the SMTP server requires authentication.
 You can specify the specific Subject Line that will be sent with the email.
 Click Apply to activate SMTP.
7.5.2 Send SMS alerts
With any model console server you can use email-to-SMS services to send SMS alert notifications to
mobile devices. Almost all mobile phone carriers provide an SMS gateway service that forwards email to
mobile phones on their networks. There’s also a wide selection of SMS gateway aggregators who
provide email to SMS forwarding to phones on any carriers. Alternately if your console server has an
embedded or externally attached cellular modem you will be given the option to send the SMS directly
over the carrier connection.
SMS via Email Gateway
To use SMTP SMS the Administrator must configure a valid SMTP server for sending the email:
 In the SMTP Settings field in the Alerts & Logging: SMTP &SMS menu select SMS Gateway. An
SMS via Email Gateway field will appear
 Enter the IP address of the outgoing mail Server SMS gateway
