5.7.1. Alerts

■
The Alerts page allows you to set up the Ethernet
Disk RAID to notify up to three people via email if a
problem occurs—for example, if one of the disks fails, or
if insufficient space is available for creating new files or
performing a backup.
To take advantage of this feature, you must have ac-
cess to an SMTP e-mail server either within your own
network or through an Internet service provider.
To set up e-mail alerts:
1. In the navigation bar, click Advanced.
2. On the Advanced page, click Alerts.
3. Specify whether or not the Ethernet Disk RAID
should send e-mail notifications when a problem oc-
curs by selecting or clearing the
cations check box.
If you select this option, you must provide the fully
qualified domain name or IP address of your e-mail
server and at least one e-mail address.
If you clear this option, e-mail notifications will not
be sent, and all the related fields on this page appear
dimmed. However, if you previously entered infor-
mation on this page, that information is retained so
that you can easily re-enable e-mail notifications lat-
er. If you clear this option, you do not have to com-
plete the rest of this procedure; simply click Apply.
4. In the SMTP server name or IP address
enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address
of your e-mail server.
5. Specify where or not your e-mail server requires
authentication by selecting or clearing the
server authentication
If you select this option, you must enter a user name
and password for logging into that server in the
