SMTP Mail Server
Since your router does not have its own email server, to receive alerts you must enable an SMTP server. This is
possible through most email services (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
Each SMTP server will have dierent specications for setup, so you have to look those up separately. The
following is an example using Gmail:
• Server Address: smtp.gmail.com
• Server Port: 587 (for TLS, or Transport Layer Security port; the router does not support SSL).
• Authentication Required: For Gmail, mark this checkbox.
• User Name: Your full email address
• Password: Your Gmail password
• From Address: Your email address
• To Address: Your email address
Once you have lled in the information for the SMTP server, click on the “Verify SMTP Settings” button. You
should receive a test email at your account.
Delivery Options (Advanced)
Email Subject Prefix: This optional string is prexed to the alert subject. It can be customized to help you
identify alerts from specic routers.
Retry Attempts: The number of attempts made to send an alert to the mail server. After the attempts are
exhausted, the alert is discarded.
Retry Delay: The delay between retry attempts.
