Password changed
A password changed event is triggered when the user has changed the NPort’s password. When the
password changes, the NPort will send an e-mail with the password changed notice before the NPort
reboots. If the NPort is unable to send an e-mail message to the mail server within 15 seconds, the NPort
will reboot anyway, and abort the e-mail auto warning.
Power failure (this event type is only applicable to NPort IA5000/IA5000A series)
NPort IA5000/IA5000A series NPorts have two DC power inputs for redundancy. Different approaches are
used to warn engineers automatically, including by email and by relay output. Users can connect to
Monitor
> Relay Output
from the web console to check which event caused the warning. The relay output will be
canceled after the power recovers, or by selecting “acknowledge event” using the web console or Telnet.
When the Relay Output is sending a warning, the Ready LED will flash red until the warning event ceases.

Ethernet link down
The NPort device server provides system maintainers with real-time alarm messages for Ethernet link down.
Even when control engineers are out of the control room for an extended period of time, they can still be
informed of the status of devices almost instantaneously when exceptions occur. The NPort device server
supports different methods for warning engineers automatically, such as by email, SNMP trap, and relay
output*.
