Configuring E-mail Access
If you want the IC 1 Internet Controller to be able to send e-mail messages, you must enter an SMTP
server and POP3 authentication. The IC 1 Internet Controller then sends all outgoing messages to the
SMTP server's URL that you have specified.
Server for sending e-mails
You send e-mails via the SMTP server. Most Internet service providers (ISPs) provide their own SMTP
servers. Enter the URL or the IP address that your ISP has provided in the "External service for sending
e-mail" field. The SMTP server does not necessarily have to be the server of your ISP. You can also use
other SMTP servers, such as those provided by freemail providers. Optionally, you can also use the email
service offered through merten@home. If you use this e-mail service, you can specify whether you
want to send messages via either one of the servers, exclusively via the merten@home SMTP server
or additionally via the merten@home SMTP server.
To configure the SMTP server on the IC 1 Internet Controller, proceed as follows:
1. Click the "Device data" module.
2. In the "E-mail" section, enter the URL or the IP address of a valid SMTP server in the "SMTP server"
field.
3. In the "POP server" field, enter the URL or the IP address of a valid POP server.
4. In the "Sender address" field, enter the address of the e-mail account from which you send the messages.
5. Click "Apply". The next time you download data to the IC 1 Internet Controller, the settings are modified
in the IC 1 Internet Controller.
| Some SMTP servers allow you to make entries in this field that deviate from the sender's e-mail
address. In this case, you can enter the device name of the IC 1 Internet Controller here, for example.
POP server (authentication)
Some ISPs require a POP authentication when sending e-mail messages. When this is the case, you
authenticate yourself through your POP3 user data (user name and password of your e-mail account) as
a registered user of the e-mail service. By doing this, the e-mail provider prevents users from being able
to send anonymous e-mail messages (for example, to distribute computer viruses) or spam messages
(unsolicited messages that are sent to many recipients at the same time).
To configure a POP server authentication for a specified SMTP server on the
IC 1 Internet Controller, proceed as follows:
1. In the "E-mail" section, select the desired authentication type in the "Authentication" field.
2. In the "E-mail" section, enter the corresponding data in the "User name" and "Password" fields.
