Siemens Server manual Mail configuration

Server Setup

Under this menu item, the ChemWeb Server is supplied with data from your provider for sending e- mails. Type the data you received from your provider and the receiver e-mail addresses in the corresponding boxes, and confirm the entry by clicking “Send”.

Mail Server:

These entry boxes contain the data required to log on to the e-mail server of your provider and to send e-mails.

Destination (to):

In these entry boxes you define to which receivers information e-mails are to be sent.

Actions:

Under “Information mail” you can select if an information e-mail is to be sent daily and at which time. If the connection setup fails, the ChemWeb Server tries twice every 5 minutes, up to one hour, to establish the connection. In this e-mail, the currently valid IP address under which the ChemWeb Server can be reached in the Internet is also notified.

By clicking “Event mail”, you select to send alarm states defined under “Event Configuration” as e-mail.

Under “Duration” you determine the minimum time the ChemWeb Server is to remain online with the Internet. The setting “0” signifies an online time of minimum 3 minutes.

Any access to the ChemWeb Server (also via the internal network), extends this time correspondingly! Even if the ChemWeb Server is not accessed directly by a browser or an FTP program, the real online time can be extended extremely by port scans, ICMP inquiries or other network traffic, and thus increase the connection costs considerably!
