Now we can setup the FTP, TCP and Email output 
 
Therefore, go to menu-option D:  <Modem output> and choose the wished output protocol e.g. Email 
 
It should look like this: 
 
Email settings 

 
 
Beware: 
Some providers 
strictly check 
the Originator 
address. So 
make sure this 
address is valid.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Now perform an Email test and check if it is working right. 
 
It is strongly recommended to include some internal sensors in the configuration, because of the 
monitoring of the performance of the data logger itself. Most users like to keep track of the battery-life for 
example. 
 
Go To menu-option 6 <internal sensors>
