Vigor Router can send the email to notify the network administrator for the events including

WAN disconnect / reconnect
VPN disconnect / reconnect
Temperature Alert, when the temperature detected by the attached thermometer out of the defined range
WAN budget, when reaching the WAN budget limit
Central VPN Management: CPE offline, CPE config backup / restore fail, CPE firmware upgrade fail, and CPE VPN profile setup fails

Security(for 2865/2927), when there are any log-in events via WebUI/ telnet/ SSH/ TR069/ FTP, and config-changed events

Note that the options available vary between models. This article shows how to configure the router to send Email notification for WAN and VPN disconnect/reconnect for example.

1. Set up an email account on Vigor2136 by editing the Default_Email_Profile via Configuration/ Notification Services/ SMTP Server.

Switch On Enabled to activate the profile.
Select the Email will be sent through which WAN interface
Enter the SMTP server’s IP or domain name and the SMTP port
Enter the Sender Address
Select the Connection Security that the SMTP server uses
Enter the email account’s username and password for SMTP server’s authentication

To verify the SMTP settings, please enter the recipient's email address in the Send Test Email to field and click the Send Test Message button. The Vigor2136 will display the Send Status. If the status shows SUCCESS, the SMTP settings are correct. If the status shows FAILED, please compare the SMTP settings on the Vigor2136 with those in a working mail client (e.g., Thunderbird).
