CRADLEPOINT MBR1400 | USER MANUAL – Firmware version 4.2

8.2 Device Alerts

The Device Alerts submenu choice allows you to receive email notifications of specific system events. YOU MUST

ENABLE AN SMTP EMAIL SERVER TO RECEIVE ALERTS. Alerts can be included for the following:

• Firmware Upgrade Available: A

firmware update is available for this

device.

• System Reboot Occurred: This

router has rebooted. This depends on

NTP being enabled and available to

report the correct time.

• Unrecognized MAC Address: Used

with the MAC monitoring lists. An alert

is sent when a new unrecognized

MAC address is connected to the

router.

• WAN Device Status Change: An

attached WAN device has changed

status. The possible statuses are plugged, unplugged, connected, and disconnected.

• Configuration Change: A change to the router configuration.

• Login Failure: A failed login attempt has been detected.

• Full System Log: The system log has filled. This alert contains the contents of the system log.

• Recurring System Log: The system log is sent periodically. This alert contains all of the system events since the

last recurring alert. It can be scheduled for daily, weekly and monthly reports. You also choose the time you want

the Alert sent.

8.2.1 SMTP Mail Server

Since the MBR1400 does not have its own email server, to receive alerts you must enable an SMTP server. This is

possible through most email services (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
