SoundAdvisor Model 831C
Before you begin:
• We recommend that you use 2-Step Verification when using Google® G-mail™. If
you use G-mail, complete section 9.15 Generating an App Password before
proceeding.
• If your meter is configured with a static IP address, you will need to enter the
fixed network addresses you previously defined during this process. For help
with this, see 13.2.1 Setting a Static IP Address.
• If you're planning to use network security, create an email account on an email
server that supports HTTPS and encryption protocol. For more information, see
your email provider's documentation.

FIGURE 9-7 Email Account Properties
TLS Trusted CA (preferred)
The 831C matches responding server with a
provided certificate to verify that the responding
server is known. If the responding server can't be
verified, the email will not send. Most email
providers (such as Gmail) use this type of security.
TLS On
Certain configurations use their own method for
validating that an email server is the correct
server—such as the US military. Use this setting
when instructed by your IT department.
TLS Off
This is option uses only a login name and
password to access an email server. This method
is not secure, and we don't recommend it.
Step 5.
Click Send a Test Email.
If you don't receive a notification within a few minutes of initiating a test, check
to see if your meter is connected to the Internet. Also, make sure a proxy is not
filtering your email.
For additional questions or troubleshooting, contact your local IT support.
