Email Server
Email Server (see Figure 2.2.33 on page 2.2.57 ) allows you to configure email parameters (e.g., email
server and port number), and is required if the notification feature is used.
NOTE
:
Nautel recommends that the following settings be entered/vetted by a qualified Network
Administrator.
From the Notifications menu, the Email Server fields must be completed to configure the email feature.
Perform the following steps (see
Figure 2.2.33 on page 2.2.57 ):
Enter the following five parameter fields:
• Host: In order to enter a server name (e.g., mail.nautel.com), at least one nameserver IP
address must be entered.
• Port Number: This logical connection end point uses a number to identify the type of
process to which an internet or other network message is to be forwarded to when it
arrives at a server. Typically, this is set to 25 for unencrypted SMTP systems and 843 for
encrypted email.
• Transmitter Name: Set to a name that associates to the transmitter such as station
identification (e.g., VS_WXYZ). This name will be included in notification emails.
• Sender Email Address: Enter as a standard email address (e.g., a@b.com). This will be the
sender address that notification email recipients will see. Free web based email service
accounts (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail etc.) are acceptable here.
• Authentication: If your email server requires authentication to send emails, click the check
box and enter the appropriate Username and Password to allow this. If the check box is
not selected, the Username and Password fields do not appear.
NOTE
:
The transmitter will automatically handle encryption if the associated mail server requires it.
When complete click Save to store these settings. Enter a recipient email address in the Send Test Email
section and click the Send Test Email button to test your settings. Click the Save button to run the test
or the Cancel button to return to the Notifications page.
