Room Alert Signal Tower Conguration And Setup Screens
Initial Email Setup
To congure Email Settings, rst select the ‘Email Enabled’ checkbox. Enter the mail server address
for the mail server you are using in the ‘Email Server IP’ eld. If you do not know the IP address of
your mail server or have multiple email servers, you can simply enter your domain name for your
mail server in the ‘Domain Name’ eld. If you wish to use a domain name instead of an IP address, it
is strongly recommended to assign a Static IP address, Gateway IP address, DNS Server IP address,
and Subnet Mask on the ‘Network’ tab.
NOTE: When only a domain name is specied for the Email Server Settings, Room Alert Signal Tower will attempt to
resolve the domain name into an IP address before sending each email. If the domain name cannot be resolved, email will
not be sent. Specifying an IP address for the mail server avoids DNS resolution and is recommended for ultimate reliability.
The ‘Return Address (From)’ eld MUST contain an email address for an active account on the mail
server specied. For example, if ‘AVTECH.com’ is entered in the ‘Domain Name’ eld, the ‘Return
Address (From)’ eld must contain an email address with the ‘AVTECH.com’ domain. Contact your
email administrator if you require additional assistance.
If your mail server requires authentication to send SMTP email, select the ‘Authentication Enabled’
checkbox and enter the appropriate username and password. Room Alert Signal Tower uses the
‘AUTH LOGIN’ protocol when authenticated SMTP is enabled. In the ‘Email Addresses’ eld, you
can enter a regular email address, distribution list email address or mobile phone, pager or PDA email
address (Email-To-SMS) for email alert when alert thresholds are exceeded. Multiple email addresses
can be entered and separated by semi-colons. Up to 79 characters are allowed for entering email
addresses.
NOTE: Many email servers block SMTP email by default. To use SMTP email with Room Alert Signal Tower, be sure the
Room Alert Signal Tower IP address is added to the list of allowed SMTP relay hosts on the email server you are using for
email. On some email servers, using authenticated SMTP email will avoid this.
