Configure SMTP

If desired configure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to associate the Spectra StorCycle solution with an email server to send messages.

Emails sent from the Spectra StorCycle solution are the first step in troubleshooting issues that may occur. Spectra Logic recommends configuring SMTP and configuring all administrator users to receive emails.

Note: To use the Send Request to Administrator option when a user requests a file using HTML links, SMTP must be configured and an email address must be configured for the Administrator user (see Edit a User).

Use the instructions below to configure SMTP.

1. Click Settings in the toolbar and then select Configuration > SMTP. The SMTP screen displays showing the current SMTP settings.
