UTC Time
Time zones, "UT" and "GMT" are indications of "Universal Time" and "Greenwich Mean Time"
respectively and are both semantically identical to "+0000". As Commander can exist on a
network anywhere in the world, it is important to know its time zone location. Please note that
logged dates and times reflect the date and time at the actual location of the Commander and not
at the viewing client.
Sending Email Notices and Files:
At various places in the Commander set up you will be able to input emails addresses for sending
out warnings, alarms, log files, and notices of changes in IP addresses when DHCP is applied.
The success in sending out emails is dependent upon your email server settings.
If an email is being sent from Commander to an address on the Internet, there are two important
considerations. First your internal network must have a router or gateway to the internet. Second
the SMTP server needs to allow the Commander to relay mail or rout the mail to a local user. The
most reliable way is to set up an email account for the Commander.
It is suggested that during the installation of Commander you run a test of all required email
addresses to determine if any problems exist. Ultimately, the solution to these problems will rely
on the programming of your mail server.
Commander has been tested for sending emails to various internet email hosts, however these
providers can change their set ups at any time leading to changes in performance. American
Fibertek does not take responsibility for these changes.
