SSG Property Sheet
1. POP and SMTP Server fields blank - leaving both the POP and SMTP fields
blank allows you to use the ASAP notification mechanism locally, without sending
e-mail or pager notifications. For example, if you select Style HTML and select the
Show check box on the Content property sheet, notification reports automatically
appears on your workstation web browser whenever the notify rule condition is
satisfied (that is, when a critical state change occurs or at periodic intervals).
2. SMTP field supplied, POP field blank - leaving a blank POP field in conjunction
with a valid SMTP server is allowed in server environments where POP
authentication is not required. The SMTP user and password fields might or be
required not depending on your server configuration. If you supply a user and
optionally a password, you must SELECT the Logon check box.
3. SMTP and POP fields supplied - Use this combination when POP authentication
is required to use the SMTP server. Some SMTP servers cross-validate that a
given user has first logged on to the POP server. If this is the case, you must
supply your POP user and password. If you supply a user and optionally a
password, you must select the Logon check box.
SMTP and POP fields - can be the name of either an SMTP or POP server. Typically
these addresses begin with SMTP or POP. For example:
SMTP.SBCGlobal.Net
POP.SBCGlobal.Net
You can also specify server addresses as the IP address of your server.
If you want to send ASAP notifications via e-mail, wireless phone, or pager, you must
supply the SMTP field.
User and Pass fields - are required if your POP or SMTP server requires a user or
password. If your SMTP or POP servers require a user or optionally a password, you
must select the Logon check box of the corresponding POP or SMTP server field.
Send Timeout Drop-Down - indicates the number of minutes that e-mail notifications
will be retried if the SMTP server cannot be accessed.
