Introduction

The Digi CM can be configured for system alerts and notifications. It sends
email messages when the number of system log messages reaches a certain
value or when an alarm message is detected in the serial port data. The Digi
CM uses SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending the notifications.
To use SMTP, the system administrator must configure a valid SMTP server
for sending the emails. The Digi CM supports three types of SMTP servers:
SMTP server without authentication, SMTP server with authentication, and
POP before SMTP.
The Digi CM also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), a
protocol used to manage a network and monitor devices on a network. System
and port alerts can also be sent using SNMP traps. The Digi CM supports both
versions 1 and 2 of the SNMP protocol. The main function of SNMP on the
Digi CM is to allow a system administrator to query remote devices for
information.
