EMAIL SETTINGS FOR ALARM WORKSHEET
IWS has the ability to send emails automatically when alarm events occur. The emails are sent using the
standard SMTP (Simple Message Transfer Protocol). Therefore, you just need a valid email account with a
SMTP Server and POP3 server — it is not necessary to install any additional software, such as Microsoft
Outlook.
Important: Before being email to send emails, it is necessary to execute successfully the CnfEmail
function (from the built-in language) at least once. This function sets the email account parameters
used when sending emails from the project (e.g., SMTP server, user name, password, and so forth).
