About SMTP Server Configuration

You can configure the Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence system to connect to external SMTP servers, through which e-mail notifications are sent for meetings that are scheduled through the end-user web interface.

The system allows the configuration of two SMTP servers. At least one SMTP server must be configured for Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence to send e-mail notifications. After the initial system startup, Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence uses the primary SMTP server to send e-mail notifications.

If the system fails to send e-mail notifications through the primary SMTP server, then the system immediately switches to using the secondary SMTP server, if configured. The system continues to use the secondary SMTP server until a problem occurs; then the system automatically switches to using the primary SMTP server. In general, if Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence fails to send e-mail notifications through an SMTP server, then the system automatically switches to the other configured SMTP server.

Use this procedure to configure the primary and optional secondary SMTP servers.
