Creating a New Project
Configuring your project's default email settings
Some features, such as alarms and certain functions, are able to send email to designated recipients. To use
these features, you must configure your project's email settings.
The email settings can be configured at any point during runtime by calling the CnfEmail function. However,
you can also configure default settings that are automatically used when the project is first run and then
restored as needed during runtime, overwriting any changes made by calling the CnfEmail function.
1. On the Project tab of the ribbon, in the Web group, click Email/FTP.
The E-mail and FTP configuration dialog is displayed.
2. Click the E-Mail Settings tab.
3. In the E-mail (From) box, type your email address.
4. In the Server and Port boxes, type the server address and port number for your outgoing mail server.
The default port for SMTP is 25, but it depends on your server and network configuration. Please consult
your email provider.
5. If your outgoing mail server requires authentication, select My server requires authentication. If authentication
must also be encrypted, select Enable SSL. Then type your credentials in the User Name and Password boxes.
Most outgoing mail servers do require authentication, to prevent spamming and other abuse from
unknown users.
Note: Encryption via SSL is not supported in projects running on Windows Embedded target
systems.
6. In the Status box, type the name of a tag (Integer type) that will receive status codes when the project sends
email.
7. In the Reload box, type a tag/expression. When the value of this tag/expression changes, the project will
reload these default email settings.
8. Click OK to save your configuration and close the dialog.
