Configuring an external SMTP server can be done either in the WebUI or using the CLI. Note that the InCenter SMTP client will use STARTTLS when communicating with an SMTP server.

Configuring an SMTP Server Using the WebUI

When report or alarms are configured so they are sent to an email address, an SMTP server must also be configured. This is done by pressing the SMTP Settings button in the initial WebUI page for alarms or reports. The button on the alarms page is shown below.

An external SMTP server can now be defined.

Configuring an SMTP Server Using the CLI

The following is an example of a CLI command to configure an SMTP server:

admin@InCenter:/> cc Settings 
admin@InCenter:/Settings> set SMTPServer Enabled=Yes
			Host=smtp.example.com
			FromAddress=reports_alerts@mycompany.com
			Username=mySMTPUsername
			Password=mySMTPPassword
