•
Port: The TCP port which the SMTP Server uses to provide mail services. Typical values would be port
25 for an unencrypted connection, or 465 and 587 for a TLS/SSL-encrypted connection, but these may
vary depending on the mail server's configuration.
•
Enable SSL: If Enabled, the unit will attempt to connect to the server using a fully-encrypted TLS/SSL
connection. W hen this setting is enabled only fully-encrypted sessions are supported; the "StartTLS"
method, where the session starts out as unencrypted and then switches to encrypted partway through
the session, is not supported. If using a service that utilizes StartTLS, such as Office365, please leave
this option Disabled.
•
"From" Email Address: The address which the unit's emails should appear to come from. Many
hosted email services, such as Gmail, will require this to be the email account of a valid user.
•
Username and Password: The login credentials for the email server. If your server does not require
authentication (open relay), these can be left blank.
Microsoft Exchange servers will have to be set to allow SMTP relay from the IP address of the unit. In ad-
dition, the Exchange server will need to be set to allow "Basic Authentication", so that the unit will be able
to log in with the AUTH LOGIN method of sending its login credentials. Other methods, such as AUTH
PLAIN, AUTH MD5, etc. are not supported.
