ORBIT 360 | USER GUIDE
113
For the logger to be able to send emails, you have to configure the SMTP Server. This
SMTP server can be your own email account, or you can create a new account for the
exclusive use of the logger. Do not use TSL/SSL servers as logger SMTP server. If you do
it you will see E114 as the maximum e-mail status.
There are big differences in the performance of the SMTP servers when there are
interruptions in the communication. As the GSM signal is often interrupted in some
locations, it is important to choose a good SMTP server. Kintech Engineering has tested
some of the top 20 SMTP servers in the world and our recommendation to use because
its good performance is in www.yahoo.com.
An example of how to setup a yahoo account
SMTP Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP Port: 25
SMTP User Name: [email protected] (email address)
SMTP Password: mypassword (email account password)

Satellite
Kintech Engineering offers two alternative satellite solutions, Iridium and BGAN. Either
solution enables you to connect with data loggers installed in locations without GSM
coverage.
Unlike the built-in GSM modem that comes by default with every Kintech logger, the
satellite solution consists of external hardware that must be wired to the logger
terminals.
Both Iridium and BGAN modems have an accessible SIM card holder. The SIM card is
similar to the GSM SIM cards and must have its PIN1 code request disabled.
Please be aware that the parameters of the modem must be set up by Kintech
Engineering so they match the Orbit 360 features.
