Quick Start Guide
Step 11 – Email Setup
For email setup, navigate to the Setup > Email tab. Here you can assign an email account to serve as the
sending email account for the DASDEC. The device utilizes SMTP to communicate with either your onsite email
server or third-party email server. The connection between the DASDEC and email server can be done in either
a non-secure or secure fashion (secure means the communication process uses authentication.)
For a non-secure setup, uncheck the 'Use authentication?' box to provide an SMTP server name or IP address
(shown in purple) and add a from name with 'Have Email MTA use From Name as Sender' checked (shown in
red).
Note: A non-authentication setup requires port 25 to be opened.
For a more secure setup that uses authentication, check the 'Use Authentication?' box, followed by an SMTP
server name or IP address (shown in purple). Add the email address followed by the password used to login
into that email address (shown in blue). Use that same email for the from name with the 'Have Email MTA use
(shown in red). Click the Set & Test Mail Server & From Names button to
From Name as Sender' box checked
accept the changes to those fields (Indicated with a black arrow). You should see "OK:Contacted Mail Server
(Port 587)" appear on the page.
Note: An authentication setup requires port 587 to be open. Email services requiring two-factor authentication cannot be
used.
