Define the Port for the SMTP Server

Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions

To define the port at which the alert subsystem connects to the SMTP server:

  1. From the CommNet tree, right-click the CommNet Server node, and then click Properties.
  2. From the CommNet Properties dialog box, select an SMTP port from the SMTP Port box.
  3. Click OK.
If the SMTP Port is not configured properly, alerts and scheduled tasks will not be sent to their intended recipients. If these are not sent properly, this information will be collected in the CommNet Server database and will not be sent until the SMTP Port is configured properly. After this information has been accumulated for 24 hours, the CommNet Server will start pruning this information.
