Email - Vertiv VP8841 Manual

Vertiv Intelligent Rack PDU

5.3.5. EMAIL

The unit is capable of sending email notifications to up to five email addresses when an Alarm or Warning
Event occurs.
Target email addresses can be configured as follows:
Legend of icons/buttons:
1. Add new target email address.
2. Modify existing target email address.
3. Delete existing target email address.
4. Send test email.
To send emails, the unit must be configured to access the mail server, as follows:
•
SMTP Server: The name or IP address of a suitable SMTP or ESMTP server.
•
Port: The TCP port which the SMTP Server uses to provide mail services. Typical values would be port
25 for an unencrypted connection, or 465 and 587 for a TLS/SSL-encrypted connection, but these may
vary depending on the mail server's configuration.
•
Enable SSL: If Enabled, the unit will attempt to connect to the server using a fully-encrypted TLS/SSL
connection. Note that when this setting is enabled only fully-encrypted sessions are supported; the
"StartTLS" method, where the session starts out as unencrypted and then switches to encrypted part-
way through the session, is not supported. If using a service that utilizes StartTLS, such as Office365,
please leave this option Disabled.
•
"From" Email Address: The address which the unit's emails should appear to come from. Note that
many hosted email services, such as Gmail, will require this to be the email account of a valid user.
