Configuring alarms
Confirm password
Re-enter the password. The two passwords are compared to check that they are the same and
that there hasn't been a typographical error when entering them. This check is deployed
because password characters are not echoed. Therefore, the usual visual feedback is not
available.
Display "Email From" as
The text for the MAIL FROM parameter, which forms part of the protocol when connecting to
the email server. Most SMTP servers accept an empty string, while others require that this
parameter is present. You may need to consult with the SMTP server administrator (or ISP) to
determine whether this parameter is required.
Attachment size limit n Kbyte, Mbyte
Some email service providers place a limit on the size of an email attachment that they will
accept, you can use this parameter to ensure that the limit is not exceeded. The traffic
analyser and event logger can generate substantial files, and it may be required that these
files are truncated when sent as email attachments. The size is specified in kilobytes. For
example, setting this limit to 250 truncates the attachment to 250kB before transmission.
Setting the size to 0 means that no limits are imposed.
If the email template does not contain one, use "Reply To" address
This address is inserted into the email header if no reply address exists in the appropriate
email template. If the email template does contain an address in the reply to: field, that will
override the default reply address.
Route using Routing table, Interface x,y
When selected, the routing code determines the outbound interface, and that interface
determines the source IP address. If the Route using routing table option is not selected, the
settings in the interface and interface instance text boxes determine the outbound interface
and source IP address. These are selected from the drop-down selection box and are None,
PPP, and Ethernet.
Resend the email after s seconds if the first attempt fails
This setting and associated text entry box enable the retry mechanism. If the first attempt to
deliver the email fails, the router waits the specified number of seconds (which must be non-
zero) before making another attempt.
