Using Trace Output
Trace output is very useful for technical support troubleshooting the sending of SMTP email and other
issues. The trace output will show the communication between Room Alert and the configured mail
server to show what might be preventing email from being sent. It will also show other information
including the current version number, IP address, MAC address, requests to the web pages and more.
To configure trace output in Room Alert, click ‘Settings’ and then ‘Advanced’. Select the ‘Enable
Tracing’ checkbox and enter the desired port number in the ‘Trace Port’ field. Save the settings by
clicking the ‘Accept Changes’ button, then ‘Save Settings’. To view the trace output, click ‘Settings’ and
then ‘Advanced’. Click ‘View Tracing Output’ to open a trace window. When the trace window loads,
click ‘Connect’ to begin viewing the live trace output. Once trace is running, try to replicate any issues
that are occurring so they are captured in the trace output. If having issues sending email, send a test
email while viewing the trace output. Once the details for an issue or event are captured, copy and paste
the trace output into a text editor to save the contents of the trace.
