Configuring E-Mail Notification - Acer Altos RAIDWatch Manual

Note Under some circumstances, software component necessary for running NPC under RedHat -
"rpc.rwalld"
If the package
<version>-.i386.rpm
the RedHat installation CD.
To install the rpm packages, use the command:
Make sure NETBIOS and TCP/IP are active services on your NT for message broadcasting.
Broadcast settings include:
• Host Name: which should be computer name for Windows NT/98/95 but should be a host name
or IP address for Unix systems such as Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, and AIX.
• Message: which is the message that network stations will see when events occur. Message
added here can serve as a reminder and may as well be the technical contact information.
Note Cross-platform broadcasts (i.e., Unix-based servers broadcasting to Windows-based network
stations and vice versa) are not currently supported.
When you have finished, click Add to have NPC send event notification broadcasts to stations served
by this server. Next, either enter another server to receive notices, choose another NPC item to
configure, or click Close to save changes and exit the installation procedure.

11.8 Configuring E-Mail Notification

NPC sends e-mail messages to specific people on the network or Internet using the Microsoft
Internet Mail service or a third-party, MAPI-compliant e-mail service. You will need these services
to enable the e-mail notification function of NPC.
Since NPC depends largely on services mentioned above for the delivery of e-mail messages, most
e-mail notification parameters are configured through these packages. NPC only allows you to
select the users who will receive the notification messages, and specify the notification message for
each recipient.
For information on how to configure users for e-mail reception and other pertinent information
about the Microsoft Internet Mail service in Windows NT, refer to the Windows NT manual. Be sure
that these services are configured properly, and functioning before using the e-mail notification
function of NPC.
NPC e-mail settings include:
• Profile Name: is a collection name required for logon to a Windows Messaging profile (FAX, E-
mail, Exchange Mail). It is usually the same with the account name. A profile name validates
the available messaging services and service providers during a particular MAPI session.
• SMTP Server: enter the IP address of the mail server to use to send e-mail event notifications.
