Device Alerts - Cradlepoint IBR1100 User Manual

User Manual / IBR1100/IBR1150
• Unmanaged Checkin Timer: How often, in seconds, the router checks with ECM to see if the router is
remotely activated. Note that this value is a starting point for an internal backoff timer that reduces
network usage over time.
• Maximum Alerts Buffer: The maximum number of alerts to buffer when offline.

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 Success: A successful login attempt has been
detected.
• Login Failure: A failed login attempt has been detected.
• Account Locked: Account has been locked due to
excessive failed login attempts.
• IP Address Banned: An IP address has been banned.
• VPN Tunnel Goes Down: Sends an alert when a VPN
tunnel goes down.
• Feature License Expiration: Sends an alert when a
feature license is about to expire.
• Router SDK Application: A router SDK Application may send an alert.
• 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 (Frequency). You also
choose the Time you want the alert sent.
SMTP Mail Server
Since your router 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.)
Each SMTP server will have different specifications for setup, so you have to look those up separately. The
following is an example using Gmail:
• Server Address: smtp.gmail.com
• Server Port: 587 (for TLS, or Transport Layer Security port; the router does not support SSL).
