Email Server Configuration

Configuring an Alert Email Server is optional. This procedure establishes an existing email server that the System Monitor Manager can use to send alerts. This is configured on the System Monitor Manager node only.

Note: You must have SQL Server sysadmin rights to configure the email server. No warning will be displayed, but without the proper user rights, configuration changes you make to the Alert Email Server in the Configurator will not be accepted.

1. In the Configurator, select Alert Email Server, under AVEVA System Monitor.

   

2. Select one of the email alert details options.

   • To skip email server configuration, choose the option to enter email server details in the System Monitor Manager web interface.

   • To configure the email server, choose the option to "Enter Email server details now."

3. In the SMTP Server Name or IP field, enter either the computer name or IP address of the email server to be used for System Monitor alerts.

4. In the SMTP Server Port field, enter the port number of the email server (default: 25).

   • Use port number 25 for an unsecured SMTP server.

   • Use port number 465 for a secured SMTP server.

   See the AVEVA System Monitor User Guide for additional configuration information.

5. In the SMTP Server Secured field, enter yes if the server is secured, or no if it is not.

6. If you are using a secured email server, enter the user name and password to access the server. The user name and password field are only applicable to a secured email server.

7. In the From Email ID field, enter the email address that will be used to send system alerts from the System Monitor.

8. In the Default Recipient Email ID field, enter the email address(es) that will receive system alerts from the System Monitor.

9. Press the Configure button.

10. Select the next item in the left pane that requires configuration. When all required items have been configured, press the Close button to complete installation. See System Restart after Configuration.
