Email Notifications

The email feature works in conjunction with SNMP traps to notify registered users of alarms or significant events in the MGX 8260 Media Gateway. A system administrator can register up to ten users for email notifications and up to twenty trap events for each user. Upon an event, the system sends an email to all registered users that contains alarm or event details and related system information.

Configuration Tasks for Email Alerts

To use email alerts, you perform two steps:

• Register the IP address of your existing email server

• Register the trap events you want users to receive
