Monico CDL Gateway Installation And Operation Manual page 30


The Server Port Number property defines 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 Domain Name property specifies the domain name that will be passed to the SMTP server in
the HELO or EHLO 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, you
may need to enter something appropriate to your DNS configuration.

The Reverse Path property specifies the email address that will be supplied as the originator of the
messages sent by the target device. The property comprises a display name, and an email address.
Since MonicoView II 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 Initial Timeout property specifies how many seconds 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 Record Log File property can be enabled to keep a log of all SMTP interactions in the root
directory of the CompactFlash card. This file can be useful when debugging SMTP operations, but
enabling it all the time will tend to degrade performance slightly.
SMTP AUTHENTICATION

The Method property indicates the type of authentication to be attempted by the client. A
selection of Digest will insist upon a authentication technique that sends the password in an
encrypted form, and will skip authentication if the server does not support such a method. A
selection of Basic will attempt to use the secure technique, but will fallback to trivially encoded
transmission if necessary. A selection of None will not attempt to authenticate. Your server may or
not require authentication. Contact you network administrator or mail provider for more details of
the setting that should be used for your server.

The Username and Password properties provide the optional credentials for the authentication
process described above.
