Item Requirement
Hardware 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network
IP Address Protocol DHCP or Static IP (factory default is DHCP)
Outbound Connectivity
Must have outbound access to Internet (mail server connections only).
Port 10025 for SMTP
Port 110 for POP3
Inbound Connectivity None required or utilized.
Connecting the Panel to a Network
In order to use the e-mail feature, the panel must be connected to a network with Internet connectivity. This is usually accom-
plished by installing an Ethernet drop near the panel. The IP address can be set one of two ways:
• The panel has a built in DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) and will ask for an IP address from the
“Host Computer”.
• The installer or the Network Administrator may set the IP address using the software's Static IP function.
