Configuring E-Mail Forwarding
You can configure MediaCentral UX to forward messages to e-mail accounts so users can receive messages when they are not logged on to MediaCentral UX. You can also specify the protocols used to encrypt e-mails, using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and by using or ignoring a Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
E-mail forwarding requires a MediaCentral UX administrator to enable e-mail forwarding and to assign a valid SMTP server. When your administrator enables e-mail forwarding in the System Settings, MediaCentral UX users can then use the User settings to enable e-mail forwarding for their accounts and specify the e-mail address to which they want their messages sent when not logged in to MediaCentral UX.
To enable and configure e-mail forwarding:
1. Sign in to MediaCentral UX as an administrator.
2. Select System Settings from the Layout selector.
The System Settings layout opens.
3. In the Settings pane select Messages & Sharing.
The Details pane displays the settings in that group.
4. Select Email forwarding.
5. Type a valid SMTP server name for the hosting e-mail application, and then type the appropriate port number.
6. (Option) If you want to use Secure Sockets Layer protocol, select Use SSL, and then type a user name and password for your administrator e-mail account.
7. (Option) If you do not want to use Transport Layer Security, select Ignore TLS.
8. In the Email Test section, type a valid e-mail address in the Recipient’s e-mail field to send a test e-mail message.
9. Click Validate to ensure that your SMTP configuration is correct.
A test e-mail is sent to the address specified in the settings. If the address is valid, a check mark appears next to the Validate button.
An error message informs you if the validation process fails. If you receive an error message, try entering your configuration information again.
10. Click Apply.
