Agent E-Mail Configuration - Network Monitoring with E-Mails 

The SCALANCE X-200 provides you with the option of automatically sending an E-mail (for 

example to a network administrator) if an alarm event occurs. The E-mail contains the 

identification of the sending device, a description of the cause of the alarm in plain language, 

and a time stamp. This allows centralized network monitoring to be set up for networks with 

few nodes based on an E-mail system. When an E-mail event message is received, the 

WBM can be started by the browser using the identification of the sender to read out further 

diagnostic information. 
E-mails can only be sent when 
•  the E-mail function is activated on the SCALANCE X-200 and the E-mail address of the 

recipient is configured. 

•  the E-mail function is enabled for the relevant event. 

•  there is an SMPT server in your network that can be reached by the SCALANCE X-200. 

•  the IP address of the SMPT server is entered on the SCALANCE X-200.
