Double-click the E-mail Server icon to open the E-Mail Server Configuration window. Configure the 
following fields and click OK. Click Test E-mail Server to test your e-mail server settings.

All settings except From address to appear in appliance e-mails are available for both a primary 
e-mail server and a secondary backup e-mail server.

Use the External Storage icon to configure your appliance to store data on the optional External Storage 
System or a network attached storage (NAS) device (a Windows share or an NFS mount). A maximum 
of 5000 objects such as alerts and picture clips can be stored using External Storage. Sensor readings do 
not count against the maximum number of objects stored.

Note: Not all NAS devices that work with Windows systems use one of the supported 
implementations. Some devices may use proprietary protocols and standards that require 
additional drivers to communicate with the share. Some NAS devices may not be usable.

Caution: Configuring your appliance to use external storage should be performed by your 
system administrator.

The following NAS implementations are supported:

•  Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003
