Using Auto Warning
Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at remote areas of a system, these devices will not
always know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial Ethernet
switch that connects to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time warning
messages. 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 IE-SW-VL08M supports different approaches such as email and relay output to warn engineers
automatically.
Configuring Email Warning
The Auto Email Warning function uses e-mail to alert the user when certain user-configured events
take place.
Three basic steps are required to set up the Auto Warning function:
1.
Configuring Email Event Types
Select the desired
Event types
from the Console or Web Browser Event type page (a
description of each event type is given later in the
Email Warning Events setting
subsection).
2.
Configuring Email Settings
To configure the IE-SW-VL08M’s email setup from the Console interface or browser
interface, enter your Mail Server IP/Name (IP address or name), Account Name, Account
Password, Retype New Password, and the email address(es) to which warning messages will
be sent.
3.
Activate your settings and test email if necessary
After configuring and activating your IE-SW-VL08M’s Event Types and Email Setup, you
can use the
Test Email
function to see if your e-mail addresses and mail server address have
been properly configured.
