Configuring Email Messaging

164 Part G: Alarms
If the base station has an Alarm Reporting license and is set up with a dial-up
connection using a telephone line, it can email alarms, for example, to the
maintenance technician's PC.
The Email form lets you enable and configure the sending of email messages.
The base station passes the configuration information on to its Alarm Center
along with the status message. The Alarm Center then builds the email using
that information and sends it to the SMTP server address provided.
To configure email messaging
1. Select Configure > Communications > Email.
2. Select the Email notification box to enable the base station to send emails
via an Alarm Center.
3. In the Recipient box, enter the email address of the person to receive the
email. If you want emails to be sent to multiple addresses, separate the
addresses with a comma.
4. In the Reply address box, enter an email address for replies. The base
station itself cannot receive replies to the emails it sends; they will go instead
to this address.
5. In the Subject line box, enter the text for the subject of the emails.
6. In the Leading information box, enter text that will be added to the
message body before the actual content of the email.
7. In the SMTP server box, enter the IP address of the server that the Alarm
Center will send emails to.
8. Set up suitable Task Manager actions that send email in response to
appropriate events.
Select Diagnose > Reciter > Misc I/O and send a test email to
Tip:
verify that the configuration works.
