For this alarm, you want to use an email action. However, before you can specify an email action,
you must configure EPICenter with settings for the SMTP server it should use. If this has not yet
been done, the two email checkboxes are not selectable, as shown in Figure 15.
5 To configure EPICenter’s email settings, click the Settings... button to the right of the Email to field.
This opens the Alarm Definition Email Settings dialog.

a Enter the host name or IP address of the SMTP server EPICenter should use.
b Enter the sender ID for all email sent by EPICenter.
c If the outgoing mail server requires authentication (an ID and password) check the box and enter
a valid ID and password into the fields provided.
If you don’t know whether your server requires authentication, you can go ahead and enter the
authentication information—it will be ignored if it is not actually needed.
d Click OK to save these settings.
NOTE
If your e-mail server is not reachable when an alarm action attempts to send an email, the alarm server may stall
waiting for the email server to respond.
