Specifying an SMTP Server for Mail Notification

In the event of noteworthy network conditions, NerveCenter can alert the necessary person via e-mail. NerveCenter currently offers two options for having a behavior model send an e-mail message:

• With an SMTP server.
• With a Microsoft Exchange server. See Configuring NerveCenter to Send Microsoft Mail.

The recipient or recipients of the SMTP mail message is specified when the behavior model is created. However, before this message can be sent, the administrator must specify which SMTP server NerveCenter uses to send the message.

 
  To specify a SMTP server for mail notification:

1. Open NerveCenter Administrator and connect to the appropriate NerveCenter Server. See Connecting Administrator to a NerveCenter Server on page 38.
2. Select the Actions tab.

   The Actions tab is displayed.

   

3. In the SMTP Host field, type the name of the host running your SMTP mail server.
4. If you require a domain name other than the local host sending the mail, enter a valid domain name in the SMTP Domain field.

      If the SMTP Domain is empty, NerveCenter will use the local host name as the domain name.

5. Select Save.

Users can now include a SMTP Mail action in their behavior models.
