Notifications are combined into a single e-mail message and sent at each interval setting. An
interval setting of zero causes notifications to be sent immediately.
ATTENTION
Setting too short an interval can cause the recipient’s e-mail inbox to fill very quickly.

•
Select Send to and enter an e-mail address for a user to send a test e-mail message to a
specific user.
•
Select Send to all users enabled for notification to send a test e-mail message to all users
already set to receive notification.

A message displays whether the server was found. If the server was not found, verify that the
server address was entered correctly and that the server is running. If you are using an SMTP
mail server, also verify that the SMTP ID and password information was entered correctly.
