Guidelines If the Watchdog 100 is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the rack should be no greater than 45 C. Install the Watchdog 100 such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is not compromised.
Default IP Address The Watchdog 100 has a default IP address for initial setup and access to the unit if the assigned address is lost or forgotten. Once an IP address is assigned to a unit, the default IP address is no longer active. To restore the default IP address, press the reset button located beside the network connector and hold for approximately 20 seconds.

Use the Firmware Update Page to load firmware updates into the unit. Firmware updates, when available, can be found on the Geist website: http://www.geistglobal.com/support/firmware. You can also subscribe to a mailing list, to be notified of when firmware updates become available.
The unit's current firmware versions, network information, and manufacturer support information is also here.

Using Microsoft Exchange as an SMTP server If your facility uses a Microsoft Exchange Email server, it can be used by the WATCHDOG 100 to send Alarm and Warning notification Emails if desired. However, the Exchange server may need to be configured to allow SMTP connections from the unit first, as later version of Exchange often have SMTP services or basic authentication disabled by default.

Finally, once you have enabled SMTP, relaying, and the AUTH LOGIN Basic Authentication method, you may also need to create a user account specifically for the WATCHDOG 100 to log into. If you have already created an account prior to enabling the SMTP Send Connector, or you are trying to use an already-existing account created for another user, and the WATCHDOG 100 still cannot seem to connect to the Exchange server, the account probably did not properly inherit the new permissions when you enabled them as above.
