9.8 Email
The MCTB email server has the ability to send alarm messages to email and SMS addresses. Up to 30
addresses can be programmed into the system. Each one can be configured to receive emails, SMS text
messages or both. When an alarm occurs, MCTB will send an alert to the specified address for each user in
the list. The email settings are accessed by selecting
“Email” from the setup “Email” menu.
9.8.1 Email Address Entry
Select the
“New” tab to add new email addresses to the system. For each entry, enter the recipient’s Name,
Email Address and/or SMS Number (up to 50 characters each). Turn on the Email Alarm and/or SMS Alarm
options to specify which addresses the alarm messages are to be sent to. Press the
“Create” button to add the
user to the list.
NOTE: The SMS address is specific to the service provider. Each service provider has their own unique
address; however, the phone number is always the “name” for the address entry. There are internet
sites with this information that cover most of the providers, or when in doubt, contact your service
provider for the proper address format.
9.8.2 Email Addresses
Selecting the
“Addresses” tab allows the user to view the list of email addresses entered in the MCTB. Each
entry will be shown with the notification method and address associated with it (email/SMS). To delete a user,
touch the name of the user in the list box and press the
“Delete” button. This will permanently remove the user
from the list.
