• | E-mail: Enter the email address of the alert recipient. |
• | Username and Password: Enter the email account's login information. |
• | Secure connection: Choose SSL or TLS to ensure a secure connection between the NAS and SMTP server or None. It is recommended to use this if the SMTP server supports it. |
• | Alert Notification: Select the type of instant alerts the NAS will send if system events (warnings/errors/firmware update) occur. |
SMS
Configure the SMSC server settings to send SMS messages to specified phone numbers from the NAS. Follow these steps to set up a SMSC server:
1. | Choose an SMS service provider. The default SMS service provider is Clickatell. You can add your own SMS service provider by selecting "Add SMS Provider" from the drop-down menu. When "Add SMS service provider" is selected, enter the name of the SMS provider and the URL template text. |
2. | Specify to enable SSL connection to the SMS service provider and fill out the server details, including the login name, login password and server API_ID. |
3. | Enable the alert notification by ticking the checkbox "When a system error event occurs, send a SMS notification to the following phone number". Up to two phone numbers can be specified to receive instant system alerts from the NAS. |
Note: The URL template text must follow the standard of the SMS service provider to receive the SMS alert properly. |
Push Service
The push service lets you receive notification messages on your mobile devices if a warning or error event occurs - allowing you to quickly receive first-hand information from your NAS and instantly react to keep your data safe. You must have "Qmanager" installed on your mobile devices to receive notifications.
Note: You must have firmware QTS 4.2.0 with Qmanager iOS 1.8.0 / Qmanager Android 2.1.0 or above. |
Follow these steps to set up the push service:
1. | Log into myQNAPcloud using your QID. |
2. | Choose the notification types that you want to receive (warnings or errors.) |
3. | Install Qmanager on your mobile device (Qmanager iOS 1.8.0 / Android 2.1.0 or above.) |
4. | Log into the NAS using Qmanager and confirm to receive push notifications (you can also disable this service in Qmanager > click ">" next to a NAS connection > "server settings" page > change push service properties.) |
5. | The NAS will send alert notifications to paired mobile devices when a warning or error event occurs. |
The paired devices will be listed in the "Manage Paired Devices" table. You can disable or delete a paired device from the table.
Note: On occasion you may not receive system notifications instantly due to iOS and Android server mechanisms. |
