JDS Uniphase RS-232 Appendix B Sending Email with the Web Xpander, Smtp Authentication

Appendix B – Sending Email with the Web Xpander

Sending email with the Web Xpander is accomplished by sending ASCII commands from the controller (i.e. STARGATE) to the Web Xpander’s serial port. The example below demonstrates sending an email when the alarm is disarmed.

EVENT: Send Email When Alarm Disarmed

If

Partition Not ARMED [Partition 1] TRANSITION

Then

ASCII-Out: ':mailto=mycellphone@yahoo.com' [COM1]

ASCII-Out: ':mailfrom=myhouse@home.com' [COM1]

ASCII-Out: ':mailsubject=Security' [COM1]

ASCII-Out: ':mailbody=Alarm System Disarmed' [COM1]

ASCII-Out: ':mailsend=' [COM1]

End

SMTP Authentication

Some outgoing (SMTP) mail servers require username/password authentication before they will accept outgoing mail. If your mail server requires authentication, access the “Settings” page of the web interface and specify a username/password in the fields labeled “Mail Server User Name” and “Mail Server Password”.

If these fields are filled in, SMTP authentication will be used (even if your mail server does not require or can not accept authentication). If SMTP authentication is not required you must leave these fields blank.
