Driver Configuration
SMTP Server Address
This should be the address of your SMTP server. If you do not know your server address, ask your email provider.
Examples:
Server: SMTP.COMCAST.NET
Use Default Server Port
By default this driver uses port 25. To change the port used for the SMTP server, uncheck this selection and enter the SMTP server port in the Server Port field.
Many web based Email providers require the use of port 587, but the best practice is to check with the specific Email provider if ports 25 and 587 do not work.
From Email Address Setting
This should be the email address of the customer. This address is used as the 'From' when sending emails. It is also used during the 'HELO' process with the SMTP server.
Examples:
Email: my.email@comcast.net
Email: myother.email@hotmail.com
From Friendly Name Setting
Use this setting to show an actual name in the 'From:' portion of the email. This setting is optional.
Example:
From Email Address: bsmith@email.com
From Friendly Name: Bill Smith
Shown as...
From: Bill Smith
Authentication Settings
To enable SMTP authentication, check the 'Use Authentication' option in the driver config settings. You must supply a valid Username and Password. Only SMTP servers with 'AUTH LOGIN PLAIN' authentication are supported at this time. Microsoft exchange (NTLM) authentication is not supported.
The following SMTP servers have been tested with this driver:
Comcast
Microsoft Live (Hotmail)
Google (gmail)
Yahoo and Yahoo Plus have not been verified in version 2.4 - use at your own risk.
WAN IP Acquisition
WAN IP Acquisition is intended for use on systems without access to a DNS service so that the integrator or user can be notified when the WAN IP changes. When notified the new IP address can be entered into the server configuration of any RTiPanel so that access to the RTI automation system can be reestablished.
- Enable Automated WAN IP Acquisition - Enable if Automated WAN IP Acquisition use is preferred.
- Update Rate - The rate in which the WAN IP acquisition occurs in minutes.
- Automated WAN IP Send Email Address - The Email address the WAN IP is to be sent to. Leave empty if no automated Email is preferred.
- Automated WAN IP Send Email Subject - Subject text for automated Email.
- Automated WAN IP Send Email Message - Message text with appended WAN IP notification.
- WAN IP URL - Select the URL to be used for acquiring the WAN IP. Selections are:
- jsonip.com (SSL)
- freegeoip.net (Unsecured)
- WAN IP Acquisition Note - The Automated Email and WAN IP Changed driver event are only sent during a new system file download, or when the actual WAN IP changes.
