• The Server Port Number property is used to define the TCP port number that will be
used for SMTP sessions. The default value is 25. This value will be suitable for most
applications, and will only need to be adjusted if the SMTP server has been
reconfigured to use another port. The range is 0 to 65535.
• The Domain Name property is used to specify the domain name that will be passed
to the SMTP server in the HELO command. The vast majority of SMTP servers
ignore this string. In the unlikely event that your SMTP server attempts to do a DNS
lookup to confirm the identity of its client, contact your network administrator for
correct Domain name info.
• The Reverse Path property is used to specify the email address that will be supplied
as the originator of the messages sent by the RD500. The property comprises a
display name, and an email address. Since the RD500 is not capable of receiving
messages, the email address will often be set to something that will return an
"undeliverable" message if a reply is sent.
• The Authentication Method property (None, Login, Digest).
• None: no authentication.
• Login: see below.
• Digest: The RD500 supports secure HTTP Digest access authentication. This
method is one of the agreed methods a web server can use to negotiate
credentials with a web user. Digest authentication is intended to supersede
unecrypted use of the Basic access authentication, allowing user identity to be
established securely without having to send a plain text password over the
network.
• The Login Username and Login Password fields are provided by email provider.
• The Initial Timeout property is used to specify how long the mail client will wait for
the SMTP server to send its welcome banner. Some Microsoft servers attempt to
negotiate Microsoft-specific authentication with mail clients, thereby delaying the
point at which the banner appears. You may want to extend this time period to 2
minutes or more when working with such servers.
• The Send Test Message checkbox allows the user to force the RD500 to send a test
email. This is useful when commissioning and testing systems. After enabling this
property, click the Apply button.
• The Contact Name field is the human-readable name of the address book entry.
• The Email Address property is used to define one or more recipients for this address
book entry. Multiple recipients should be separated by semicolons. The format of
each recipient will depend on the transport that is expected to deliver the message.
• The SMS field is used to enter short message service cellular phone number. (Enter
phone number without spaces or hyphens.)
