Issue

Instructions are needed to configure the new SMTP configuration.

Product Line

Andover Continuum

Environment

  • Continuum
  • Non-Microsoft Exchange/Outlook SMTP Email

Cause

Configuration for the SMTP Configuration for email alarming in Continuum 2.00 through 2.03

Resolution

In Cyberstation 2.0 and above, you no longer need Microsoft Outlook and Exchange to send email alarm notifications. Other SMTP servers can be used on the network and other email clients can be used also to send email alarm notifications directly to an intended recipient.

Note:

Public SMTP servers such as Gmail SMTP and Yahoo SMTP do not currently work with this solution as they require SSL or certain unsupported port combinations. The connections these servers establish cause connection issues within the SMTP application. Private SMTP (In-house) servers can be set up and used.

 

Steps to Configure SMTP Email Alarming

 

  1. Open and Event Notification

    2. Fill in the Email Configuration

      Specify the sender's email address - this is the email address the email will be sent from and it is also the email address that failed emails will be sent to

       

       Type in a Subject line if needed or the default Continuum email subject line will be used
