 A modem is needed to dial up an ISP.
 An e-mail account of an Internet e-mail ISP is needed.
 To set up an ISP, refer to Internet e-mail settings (see p. 146).
See the Configurator project "Example - PPP-VPN-NTP-SMS" for Internet
e-mail.
Communication tests can be used with empty e-mails for a DNS request.
For continuous Internet connections (router, VPN, GPRS ...), it is
sometimes necessary to test the communication, i.e. to test the availability
of radio connections or to distribute the end unit's IP address after a restart
in case bridges or routers are used. In such cases, the DNS request
function for e-mail sending can be used. The PLC should periodically try to
send an e-mail, but the e-mail recipient address should not be set (empty
string). Then a DNS request is sent by FP Web-Server (after an optional
Internet dial-up), which tests the communication. Do not forget to set up
the FP Web-Server with a valid e-mail server name and existing DNS
server IP address.
