Diagnostics messages from e-mail connections with authentication

Some Advanced CPs can operate with authentication on an e-mail server (refer to the device
manual and the section Authentication and other features of the Advanced CP (Page 136)).
If the authentication is incorrect, the sending of the e-mail is aborted and a diagnostics
message is entered in the diagnostics buffer of the CP.
If there is a second attempt to send an e-mail with an incorrect authentication, the following
two situations must be distinguished:
● User name or password wrong:
● The authentication method of the e-mail server is not supported:
The diagnostics messages due to authentication errors are displayed with the ID
"SMTP_RESP_ERROR_AUTH_SEQUENCE", an error number and an SMTP status:
The error number and SMTP status specify the cause of the error in greater detail:
