Send a test message to a configured recipient.
SMTP
Server Select one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
•
Local : Through the Rack PDU’s SMTP server. This setting (recommended)
ensures that the e-mail is sent before the Rack PDU’s 20-second time-out, and, if
necessary, is retried several times. Also do one of the following:
• Enable forwarding at the Rack PDU’s SMTP server so that it can route e-mail to
external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers are not configured to forward
e-mail. Check with the administrator of your SMTP server before changing its
configuration to allow forwarding.
• Set up a special e-mail account for the Rack PDU to forward e-mail to an
external mail account.
• Recipient : Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server. With this setting, the Rack
PDU tries to send the e-mail only once. On a busy remote SMTP server, the time-
out may prevent some e-mail from being sent.
When the recipient uses the Rack PDU’s SMTP server, this setting has no effect.
