8.7 Setting up Email and Text Messaging
The DXM can be configured to send email or SMS messages based on threshold conditions.
Important:
Only the DXM100 and DXM150 models offer SMS/text messaging capabilities.
Cellular-connected systems can use email or SMS. Ethernet-connected systems can only use email, but can send email to
cellular phones as a SMS message depending upon the network carrier. To send email to a Verizon phone, use the phone
number followed by
@vtext.com
, for example, [email protected].
For more information, refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n
). Internal log files may be sent
using email. Follow these instructions and use the DXM Configuration Software to program the controller for email and/or
SMS.
1. On the
Settings
>
System
screen, set the
Device Time
on the DXM.
2. On the
Settings
>
Cloud Services
screen, select either Ethernet or Cell for the
Push Interface
.
3. If you selected Ethernet, configure your Ethernet connection by setting the IP settings on the
Ethernet
screen. If you
selected a
Push interface
of Cell, use the
Cellular
screen to define parameters.
4. Set the email and message parameters on the
Notifications
screen.
5. To send alert messages, define the threshold rule to use email and/or SMS.
6. To send log files, define the log file parameters.
8.7.1 Define the Network Interface Settings
On the
Cloud Services
screen (shown with
Show advanced settings
selected), define the network connection settings by
selecting Ethernet or Cell from the
Network Interface
drop-down list. This determines how the DXM sends data.
If you don't require pushing data to a web server, set the
Cloud Push
interval to zero.

8.7.2 Configure your Ethernet Connection
To send email based on a threshold rule or to email log files, first define the network and email servers. When selecting
Ethernet, go to the
Settings
>
Ethernet
screen.
1. To define the Ethernet IP address, give the DXM a static IP address. In most cases you may select the device to use
DHCP and have the IP address automatically assigned.
2. DNS settings are not typically required. The DXM uses a public service to resolve Domain names, but if the network
connection does not have Internet access, the DNS settings may be required.
