Setting name Description
Host name Type the host name for the appliance. By default, it uses its serial
number.
The host name can be up to 35 characters in length. It can include
US-ASCII letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores, but ne
spaces and special characters.
The host name of the FortiRecorder appliance is used in multiple
places.
• It is used in the command prompt of the CLI.
• It is used as the SNMP system name. For information about
SNMP, see “SNMP traps & queries”.
The get system status CLI command displays the full host
name. If the host name is longer than 16 characters, the name
may be truncated elsewhere and end with a tilde ( ~ ) to indicate
that additional characters exist, but are not displayed.
For example, if the host name is FortiRecorder1234567890, the
CLI prompt would be:
FortiRecorder123~#
Mail server name Type the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your SMTP server,
such as mail.example.com.

your ISP’s SMTP relay, or a 3rd-party email server such as Yahoo!
or Gmail.
Ensure that the DNS settings are configured. See “Configuring the
network settings”.
Mail server port Type the port number on which your email server or SMTP relay
listens for connections from clients.
The default varies by whether you enable Use SMTPS: disabled, it
is port 25; enabled, it is port 465.
Use SMTPS Enable to initiate SSL- and TLS-secured connections to the email
server if it supports SSL/TLS.
When disabled, SMTP connections from the FortiRecorder
appliance’s built-in email client to the SMTP server will occur as
clear text, unencrypted.
This option must be enabled to initiate SMTPS-secured
connections.
