Alerts
If you have specified email address in the contact list, you receive an email alert when a 
system event that requires attention occurs. For example, a device or enclosure failure, a 
quota violation, or low disk space warning will generate an email alert. 
To access the Alerts screen select System > Alerts from the main menu. This contains three 
additional configuration areas, described in the following sections:
35.
37.
Contacts
Use the Contacts screen to specify up to three email addresses where system alerts will be 
sent. The ReadyNAS device has a robust system monitoring feature and sends email alerts 
anytime something appears to be wrong, or when a device has failed. Make sure to enter a 
primary address and a backup address, if possible. 
Use an email address tied to a mobile phone to monitor the device when you are away from 
your desk. 
To set up an email contact:
1. 
Select an option from a list of popular email providers.
2. 
Add the user name and password needed to authenticate with the SMTP server. 
In cases where the provider is not listed, click the 
button to customize the SMTP 
setting for your provider.
