To use e-mail for paging, use the e-mail address for the recipient’s
pager gateway account (for example, myacct100@skytel.com). The
pager gateway pages the recipient.
Note: The recipient’s pager must be able to use text-based messaging.
Send via Selects one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
• Through the Battery Management System’s SMTP server (the
recommended option, Local SMTP Server). E-mail is sent before the
Battery Management System’s 20-second timeout, and, if necessary,
is retried several times.
• Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server (the Recipient’s SMTP Server
option). On a busy remote SMTP server, the timeout may prevent
some e-mail from being sent, and with this option, the Battery
Management System tries to send the e-mail only once.
When the recipient uses the Battery Management System’s SMTP
server, this setting has no effect.
