Email notifications

The Call Home feature transmits operational and event-related data to you and service personnel through a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server connection in the form of an event notification email. When configured, this function alerts service personnel about hardware failures and potentially serious configuration or environmental issues.

To send email, you must configure at least one SMTP server. You can specify as many as 5 additional SMTP servers for backup purposes. The SMTP server must accept the relaying of email from the management IP address.
