Notification Tab

You can view and modify the e-mail notification parameters in the Notification tab.

To program the Notification tab:

  1. Open the Notification tab as described in Enabling Scheduled Backups. The Notification tab appears. This check box is selected by default. To disable the email notification option, clear the Enable email notification check box. The email notification fields disappear.

  2. Program the following fields:

     

o      IP address/Hostname: Type the IP address or hostname of the server to be used for sending the notification e-mail.

o      Port: Change the e-mail port number, if needed. It is set to 25 by default.

o      (Optional)  Username: Type the user name of the sender (for example, JohnDoe).

o      (Optional)  Password: Type the password for the Username, if any.

 

 NOTE: When authentication is required by the server, the following authentication modes are supported: NTLM, CRAM-MD5, LOGIN, and PLAIN. In this order, each method supported by the server is tried with the given Username and Password, until authentication succeeds or there are no more methods to try. The first of these observed to be supported by the server is used. If the server supports no authentication modes, the Username and Password are not used. If the server requires authentication and it does not support any of these modes, the authentication fails and e-mails are not sent (this will be logged).

  1. When finished programming, click Send Test Message to verify that the Notification programming is valid. When this button is clicked, the system sends a test message to the programmed recipient(s).

  2. Verify that the message is in fact received by the programmed recipient(s). If the message is not received in a timely manner, you must address this problem before Notification can function properly.
