SMTP

The SMTP section contains the information needed to setup email usage with the FF240-IP, as well as a way to test the setup by sending an email.

SMTP Configuration

SMTP Server Address

Enter the IP address of your simple mail transfer protocol server here. This can be either an IP address or Hostname. This is where emails will be sent.

SMTP Port

Enter the SMTP port to be used here (the default value for SMTP is 25).

SMTP Username

If your SMTP server requires authentication, enter the username that the FF240-IP unit will use for validation on the email server.

SMTP Password

If necessary for authentication, enter the password associated with the above username.

Confirm SMTP Password

Re-enter the password in order to avoid possible errors in the password previously entered.

FaxFinder Email Address

When an email is sent from the FaxFinder, the ‘From’ field in that email will be ffmailer- noreply@'Hostname' (Hostname is the text entered in at System Configuration Network Hostname) unless there is something entered in this FaxFinder Email Address field. If this has a value in it, that value will appear in the ‘from’ field for emails from the FaxFinder. This is true for all emails the FaxFinder send unless the email is for a fax received. Then the ‘from’ address is the Fax ID.

Save button

When you have entered your information, be sure to click the save button before navigating away from this page, else your changes will be lost.

Send a Test Email

Send Test Email To Address

Enter an email address here that you would like to send a test email to for verification that the settings entered are correct and then click the ‘Send Test Email’ link.
