Western Telematic AFS-16-1 manual Email Messaging Parameters

Basic Configuration

5.9.11. Email Messaging Parameters

The Email Messaging menu is used to define parameters for email messages that the AFS-16 can send to notify you when an alarm is triggered. To define email message parameters, you must access the AFS-16 Command Mode using a password that permits access to Administrator Level commands.

The Email Configuration menu offers the following options:

•Enable: Enables/Disables the Email Messaging feature. When disabled, the AFS-16 will not be able to send email messages when an alarm is generated. (Default = On.)

•SMTP Server: This prompt is used to define the address of your SMTP Email server. (Default = 192.168.100.43.)

•Port Number: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for email connections. (Default = 25.)

•Domain: The domain name for your email server. (Default = undefined.)

Note: In order to use domain names, you must first define Domain Name Server parameters as described in Section 5.9.5.

•User Name: The User Name that will be entered when logging into your email server. (Default = undefined.)

•Password: The password that will be used when logging into your email server. (Default = undefined.)

•Auth Type: The Authentication type; the AFS-16 allows you to select None, Plain, Login, or CRAM-MD5 Authentication. (Default = Plain.)

•From Name: The name that will appear in the "From" field in email sent by the AFS- 16. (Default = undefined.)

•From Address: The email address that will appear in the "From" field in email sent by the AFS-16. (Default = undefined.)

•To Address: The address(es) that will receive email messages generated by the AFS-16. Note that up to three "To" addresses may be defined, and that when Alarm Configuration parameters are selected as described in Section 7, you may then designate one, two or all three of these addresses as recipients for email messages that are generated by the alarms. (Default = undefined.)
