Email notifications

  • Enter the SMTP address for your email server. The NAS cannot send notifications without an email server. You can use an in-house SMTP server or third-party providers such as gmail, hotmail, etc.
  • You have the option to enable SSL by checking its box.
  • If your email server requires verification, check the box next to SMTP authentication to enter the username and password.
  • Test the connection by checking the box next to Send a verification email.
