Requesting a test mail using STEP 7 special diagnostics
In the "Email" tab of special diagnostics, you can also specify and trigger a test mail. To do
this, you require an online connection between your PC/PG and your S7 station.
When sending a test mail using special diagnostics, authentication is supported if required
by the mail server. Special diagnostics provides the input boxes for a login and password.
When you select the menu command Options > Send E-mail, a test mail is sent to the
specified address.
For more detailed information on special diagnostics, refer to section STEP 7 special
diagnostics (Page 199).
