SMTP Account parameters
For the router to successfully send emails, an email account (SMTP) must be available. This section
describes the configuration of the router to use the email account set up for it.
Hostname or IP address of your SMTP server
The IP address or hostname of the SMTP mail server, such as smtp.myisp.com. Sending email
requires a connection to the Internet. Depending upon how the router is configured, it may be
necessary to check that the PPP configuration allows a connection to the ISP or external SMTP
mail server.
Port
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) uses TCP port 25, which is the default for this
parameter. If the mail server uses a different TCP port, enter it here.
Username
Email accounts are controlled by requiring a username and password in order to send and
receive mail. This field is where the account username is set. This information will be provided
by the administrator of the email server.
Password
This field is where the account password is set.
Confirm password
Re-enter the password. The two passwords are compared to check that they are the same and
that there hasn’t been a typographical error when entering them. This check is deployed
because password characters are not echoed. Therefore, the usual visual feedback is not
available.
Display “Email From” as
The text for the MAIL FROM parameter, which forms part of the protocol when connecting to the
email server. Most SMTP servers accept an empty string, while others require that this
parameter is present. You may need to consult with the SMTP server administrator (or ISP) to
determine whether this parameter is required.
