Configure an SMTP email account to send alarms
For the router to successfully send emails, an email account (SMTP) must be available.

Web
1. Go to Configuration > Alarms > SMTPAccount. The SMTPAccount page describes the
configuration of the router to use the email account set up for it.
2. Enter SMTPaccount parameters:
Hostname or IP address of your SMTP server
The IP address or hostname of the SMTP mail server, such as smtp.myisp.com. Sending email
requires a connection to the Internet. Depending upon how the router is configured, it may be
necessary to check that the PPP configuration allows a connection to the ISP or external SMTP
mail server.
Port
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) uses TCP port 25, which is the default for this
parameter. If the mail server uses a different TCP port, enter it here.
Username
Email accounts are controlled by requiring a username and password in order to send and
receive mail. This field is where the account username is set. This information will be provided
by the administrator of the email server.
Password
This field is where the account password is set.
