Figure 11
Email Setup
Email alarms require the following conditions:
•
The
WiFi
setup must have already been done so the instrument can connect to a router or
access point.
•
That router or access point must be connected to the internet.
•
The user must have an email account to use for outgoing email. A good solution is to use a
gmail
account, or to use our cloud service.
The email setup is not always easy. See
https://convergenceinstruments.com/pdf/Gmail_Setup.pdf
details.
The complete email setup is similar to the configuration of any email application. It includes the
following:
•
Email server
The internet name of the outgoing email server. For gmail this is
smtp.gmail.com
•
Port number
The TCP port number of the email service. This is usually:
o
25
for an “open” (no security) account.
o
465
for SSL security
o
587
for TLS security
For gmail this is port 465.
•
User-name
The account name. For gmail it is the user’s account name (to the left of the
@ sign).
•
Password
The account password (leave blank for an “open” (no security) account). For
gmail this is the password to the specified account.
•
TLS
The encryption setting. This is the only secure mode supported. Uncheck for
an “open” (no encryption) account. For gmail this should be set.
