Email Notifications
You can set-up an email account to receive alerts and notifications from the NetEqualizer.
Notifications (email alerts) can be sent either immediately, or if you prefer less email, they
can be batched up and sent out once per day.
This feature enables you to select from a list of standard events, and then sends you an
email notification when the event is triggered. Standard events initially will include the
following:
•
Bandwidth Up or Bandwidth Down reaching 100% capacity
•
IPv6 traffic exceeding 1%
•
License violation, running over your license limit
