When you configure your Kemp 360 Central for the first time, the Welcome to Kemp 360 Central screen opens. This screen enables you to add single LoadMasters, LoadMaster HA pairs, and third-party devices, and makes the process of configuring your Kemp 360 Central as quick and easy as possible. The Welcome to Kemp 360 Central screen also enables you to pre-populate the SMTP configuration with an existing configuration. This is covered in detail in the Adding Devices section.

Note: Both steps are optional and can be skipped.

You may optionally add an ADC device and configure SMTP at this stage. The SMTP settings are populated from the newly added LoadMaster if there are currently no SMTP settings on Kemp 360 Central. Note that only the Email Address List, SMTP Host, Port, and SMTP Host User fields are pre-populated. You must type in the SMTP Host User and SMTP Host Password fields (if required by the SMTP server), as well as the 'From’ Email field. The Availability Alerts check box is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, email notifications are sent when the status of a device changes.

You can access the Welcome screen anytime after your first login by clicking the About and Help (question mark) icon in the bottom left of the screen and then clicking Welcome on Board.

Note: The SMTP Setting pane is pre-populated from the LoadMaster if there are currently no SMTP settings on Kemp 360 Central. Note that only the Email Address List, SMTP Host, Port and SMTP Host User fields are pre-populated. You must type in the SMTP Host User and SMTP Host Password fields (if required by the SMTP server), as well as the ‘From’ Email field. The Availability Alerts check box is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, email notifications are sent when the status of a device changes.

The above section describes how to configure these details in the Welcome screen. These details can also be configured elsewhere:
