Configuring Mail And Sms Notification - Siemens SITRANS RD500 Operating Instructions Manual

For example, if the FTP server is programmed to save any FTP connection under
C:\inetpub\ftproot and the Base Directory is \MyFolder, then all log files will be saved
under C:\inetpub\ftproot\MyFolder. The RD500 will duplicate the folder tree present
on the CompactFlash card in the Base Directory so data remains in the same order.
• The Sync Period is the frequency at which the RD500 will synchronize files.
• The Sync Delay is the offset in minutes past the hour between file transfers. Use this
property to allow multiple RD500 file transfers to be offset to avoid collisions.
Maximum setting is 59 minutes.
• The Push Logs Now checkbox allows the user to force log synchronization. This is
useful when commissioning and testing systems.
Click Apply to write any changes to the SITRANS RD500.

• The Server Selection property is used to define how the transport will locate an
SMTP server. If Manual Selection is used, the Server IP Address property should be
used to manually designate a server. If Configured via DHCP is selected, the unit's
Ethernet port must be configured to use DHCP , and the network's DHCP server must
be configured to designate an SMTP server.
• The Server IP Address property is used to designate an SMTP server when manual
server selection is enabled. The server must be configured to accept mail from the
RD500, and to relay messages if required by the application.
