Configuring Email Settings

An SMTP server and an email address are required for sending GMS reports.

If the Mail Server settings are not configured correctly, you will not receive important email notifications, such as:

•	System alerts for your Dell SonicWALL GMS deployment performance

•	Availability of product updates, hot fixes, or patches

•	Availability of firmware upgrades for managed appliances

•	Alerts on your managed appliances’ status

•	Scheduled Reports

To configure these email settings:

1	Click the Console tab.

2	Expand the Management tree and click Settings. The Settings page displays.

3	Type the IP address of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server into the SMTP Server field. This server can be the same one that is normally used for email in your network. Type in the SMTP Port number to use for email service. This field can accept/display IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

4	Enter the email account name and domain that appears in messages sent from the Dell SonicWALL GMS into the GMS Sender e-Mail Address field.

5	Enter the email account name and domain that appears in messages sent from the Dell SonicWALL GMS into the GMS Administrator e-Mail Address field. You can use User Authentication for this user by checking the box.

6	When finished in the Settings page, click Update. To clear the screen settings and start over, click Reset.
