Supported authentication methods are Automatic, Plain, CRAM-MD5, and Login. If Automatic is selected, EMG will choose the best secure method that the SMTP server supports. This option is disabled by default. Note: The Plain and Login methods send authentication data in cleartext over the network. Username or Email Address User name for SMTP authentication. Password/Retype Password for SMTP authentication. Password Port The TCP port that the SMTP server listens to. Before the introduction of secure email (with StartTLS or TLS), port 25 was the standard port for SMTP. However, with the rise of spam, fewer email services use port 25 and now use port 465 for TLS and port 587 for StartTLS.The default port is 25. Security Enables TLS encrypted connections to the SMTP server. Select StartTLS to initiate a connection in unencrypted mode but switch to TLS if it can negotiate with the server, and select TLS to use only use encrypted connection mode with the server.

SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of protocols for managing complex networks. The Management Information Base (MIB) defines the set of manageable objects in the device. The EMG supports both MIB-II (as defined by RFC 1213) and a private enterprise MIB. The private enterprise MIB provides read-only access to all statistics and configurable items provided by the EMG. It provides read-write access to a select set of functions for controlling the EMG and device ports. See the MIB definition file for details. The EMG MIB definition file and the top level MIB file for all Lantronix products is accessible from the SNMP web page. The SLC8000 and EMG share the same MIB definition file, although not every object in the MIB applies to both models. EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 152
