Sending a test e-mail from your PQube
After you have set up your PQube to use email, it is a good idea to send a test e-mail from your
PQube. Use the joystick to go to the “Send test e-mail” screen, just to the left of your
“Configuration” menu, and select it. If your PQube sends an e-mail successfully, you will see a
green check mark.

If your PQube could not send an e-mail, you will see an ERR number on the screen. The error
number corresponds to one of the following problems:

PQube sending e-mail: Your PQube had a problem opening the e-mail body file.
PQube sending e-mail: No network connection is available. Check your Ethernet cable and router, and
check your network settings in your Setup.ini file.
PQube sending e-mail: Problem connecting to your e-mail SMTP server. Check that you have the correct
SMTP server name in your Setup.ini file.
PQube sending e-mail: Your PQube successfully connected to your e-mail SMTP server, but the
authentication process failed. Check that you have the correct password, and e-mail address, and that your
SMTP e-mail server supports one of the following authentication methods: plain text, CRAM MD5, MD5
Digest.
PQube sending e-mail: Your PQube had a problem opening an attachment file.

expecting data from your SMTP server, but PQube never received the data.)

SMTP server got the email, but the SMTP server rejected the email for some reason.)

Domain Name Server error (Your PQube couldn't connect to the Domain Name Server you specified, or
there was an error during DNS transmission, or a bad response from DNS.)
The Domain Name Server says that the domain name does not exist. Check the POP and SMTP and SNTP
servers that you specified in your Setup.ini file.
Your PQube recognizes that an ETH1 Ethernet module is connected, but it is unable to communicate with it.
Your ETH1 may be starting up, and may not be ready yet – try again in a few seconds. If the problem
persists, you may have a mis-match between your PQube firmware and your ETH1 firmware. Upgrade your
PQube firmware.
