About using email templates
One of the key features provided by the event log function is the ability to configure the router to
automatically generate and send an email alert message each time an event of up to a specified
priority occurs. The format of the message is determined by the email template specified in the
Use email template file parameter, normally EVENT.EML, in the Configuration > Alarms >
Event Settings > Email Notifications web page.
If the standard EVENT.EML template supplied with the router is not suitable, you can create your
own template. An email template is a text file that defines the appearance and content of the
email messages generated by the event logger.
Email template structure
An email template consists of a header section followed by a body section. One or more blank
lines separate the two sections.
Header section
The header section MUST contain the following three fields:
TO
Used to specify at least one recipient’s email address. Multiple addresses may be included and
must be separated by a space, comma or semicolon character. For example:
To: 123@456.com, 456@123.com; abc.def.com
FROM
The email address of the sending unit. Alternatively, you can enter a simple string. This may
depend on the SMTP server as to what is accepted. For example:
FROM: WR44
Or
FROM: wr44@mycompany.com
SUBJECT
A string describing the subject of the email message. For example:
Subject: Automated message from router
