Configure an email server for the device profile

Before you can send an application log to a device profile notifications group, you must also configure the email server that you want to use to send emails.

You can choose one of the following configuration options:

• Auto-configure the Digi Axess email server: You can choose to configure the email server using the built-in Digi Axess email SMTP server configuration to send emails from the Digi Axess email server.

  For more information, see:

  • Auto-configure the Digi Axess email server

• Configure your organization's email server: Enter the required email server information for your organization's email server. You will need to have an email address set up to use as the sender for the email. If you choose to enable Authentication, you will need the server's log in credentials.

  For more information, see:

  • Configure your organization's email server

Note Configuring an email server is one step in a larger event logging process. For information about the complete process, see Application logging overview.
