GM1093 - Watchdog 1000 Series User Manual
19
Revision Date: 02/13/2015
An SMTP server as well as “From” and “To” addresses are required to send e-mails. Some mail
servers may require a username and password. In most cases, the username does not have to
match the “From” address, but does need to be a valid user on the authenticating server. Microsoft
Exchange servers will have to be set to allow SMTP relay from the IP address of the unit. In addition,
a test email can be sent from the bottom of the
Monitoring
tab of the
Configuration
page.
Note:
The unit cannot receive e-mails. The POP3 server is used strictly for authentication and is not
required when using None or ESMTP.
Status Reports
When enabled, the unit will periodically send a full status report to all “To” e-mail addresses
selected for the report. The report includes current unit data from all attached sensors as well
as alarm states. Reporting frequency options are: weekly, hourly, every 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24,
or 48 hours. E-mail addresses are selected when the report is created by checking the
corresponding e-mail destination box. Allowing the cursor to hover over an e-mail destination
box will display the e-mail address that the box is associated with.

SNMP
The unit supports retrieval of all data via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1, v2c,
and v3. In addition, alarm traps can be sent to up to two IP addresses. The SNMP configuration is
entered on the
Monitoring
tab of the
Configuration
page.

The default community string is “public” and the MIB is downloadable via a link at the top of the
unit’s web page.
