Notifications
NOTE: The time-stamp feature for email notifications and the
Alarm Log depends on a network connection to sync with In-
ternet time, along with setting the proper time zone and other
options. This is detailed on Page 32.
When it’s connected to the Internet, the SOFIA 565 can send
email or SMS/text notifications of reception or programming
faults to one or more recipients. But which alarms go to whom
is a separate setup routine; stay tuned.
SMTP Setup
The SOFIA 565 must first be properly programmed to send
mail under
SMTP Settings
. You need to set up an actual email
account, the elements of which are just like setting up any con-
ventional email account. Information to be entered here de-
pends on the provider you choose. When you apply for the ac-
count, much of this information will be assigned to you. Con-
sult your IT professional for setting up email accounts if you
need to.
Under
SMTP Server:
, enter the provided outgoing mail server
info (e.g.:
smtp.gmail.com
), the required
Port:
number and wheth-
er
TLS:
is

or

email or SMS/text recipient. You could use station call letters,

Next enter up to ten email recipients, typing-in the full email
address. After this you’ll decide who gets what alert.
Email addresses typically take
the form of the upper example
here. If instead you wish to
send a text message to a recip-
ient’s cell phone, the entry may
look like the second image. In
this instance the alarm notifi-
cations are being directed to a Verizon subscriber’s phone.
Further information on these naming protocols is available on
the Web, or you can check with the wireless carrier to confirm
the proper addressing style for Internet texting delivery.
When all recipients have been entered, click
Save
. You may al-
so click
Send Test Email
, which will memo-message all recipients
to confirm proper communications setup.
