3DM 2 Settings Page

The 3DM 2 Settings page appears when you click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar. Use this page to set preferences, including email notification for alarms, passwords, page refresh frequency, whether remote access is permitted, and the incoming port for 3DM to listen for requests.

The initial settings for most of these preferences are specified during installation of 3DM.

E-mail Notification

Use the fields in this section to set up and manage notifications of events by e-mail.

Send E-mail. This field determines whether e-mail notification is Enabled or Disabled.

Notify On. Specifies the type of events for which notifications should be sent. A severity of Information will send e-mails for all alarms, a severity of Warning will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Warning and Error. A severity of Error will send e-mail for alarms with severity of Error.

Sender. Enter the email address which will appear in the "From" field.

Recipient. The e-mail address to which notifications should be sent. You can enter multiple addresses, separated by commas (,).

Mail Server (name or IP). If the machine on which you are running 3DM has access to a name server, you may enter the machine name of the mail server in the Server field. Otherwise, use the IP address.

Save E-mail Settings button. Saves the e-mail notification settings.

Send Test Message button. Sends a test message using the saved e-mail settings.

Password

Use the fields in this section to set the passwords for the User and Administrator. When 3DM is first installed, the default password for both is 3ware.

Change Password For. Select the access level for which you are setting the password: User or Administrator. Users can only view status information in 3DM, while Administrators can make changes and administer the controller and associated drives.

Current Password. Enter the current password.

New Password. Enter the new password.

Confirm New Password. Enter the new password a second time, to be sure you have entered it correctly.

Change Password button. Saves password changes.

Page Refresh

Minutes Between Refresh. Displays how frequently pages in 3DM will be refreshed with new data from the controller. To change this setting, select another option from the drop-down. If you prefer 3DM to only refresh when you click Refresh Page, select Never.

The Login, Help and Drive SMART data pages do not automatically refresh. All other 3DM pages do.

Remote Access

Allow Remote Access. This field enables or disables the ability for users and administrators to access 3DM from a remote computer.

HTTP Settings

Listening Port. This field specifies the HTTP: port to be used by 3DM when listening for communications. The default port setting is 888.

If you change this port, make sure the port you specify is not being used. Failure to do so will cause 3DM to stop responding and you will have to restart it by hand.

Change Port button. Saves a new port number.
