Mailbox poll:
The panel cyclically polls all the inboxes using the set protocol and checks to see if new e-mail
have arrived. The poll time (time between the cyclic synchronisation operations) can be configured
in minutes for each mailbox in the e-mail settings of the PC Client software, allowing demand-orientated
updating of the displayed messages on the panel.
Settings
If the "e-mail" item is opened in the "Settings" menu, the "Device IP configuration" window
opens. The e-mail settings are split into various areas in this window. Up to five different mailboxes
can be set up to receive e-mails. Each mailbox has its own tab. One SMTP mailbox can
be set up to send e-mail messages, and is completely independent of the inboxes. The parameters
for this outbox are in the lower area of the window, independently of the tabs for the inboxes.
There is no difference between the configuration options of the up to five inboxes. The following
settings must be made correctly for all the available mailboxes...
- Settings for inboxes (tabs)
If a mailboxes is to be used, it must be activated using the "Mailbox active" setting. Only
mailboxes activated in this way can be seen in the "Mailboxes" page of the panel.
"Inbox type" specifies the inbox protocol used (IMAPv4 , POP3). Only one protocol can be
used for a mailbox at any one time.
"Mailbox display name" defines the name of the button on the "Mailboxes" system page.
The display name later helps the panel user to identify their e-mail mailboxes. Clear
names, ideally an e-mail address of this mailbox, should be entered here.
The URL of the e-mail inbox server provider by the service provider (e.g. "imap.server.de")
should be entered under "Inbox server".
"Port" specifies the communication port used for the service. Usually "110" should be
entered for POP3 and "143" for IMAPv4. The PC Client software automatically enters the
correct port address in the entry box when the protocol is selected.
"Username" and "Password" define the required access authorisations to open e-mail messages.
The service provider supplies the access data.
"Poll mailbox every X minutes" defines the poll time (time between the cyclic synchronisation
operations) of the mailbox. When the configured time has elapsed, the panel tries to
set up a connection to the inbox server and poll e-mail messages. The setting "0 minutes"
completely deactivates the automatic synchronisation with the appropriate mailbox. Then
only 'manual' synchronisation directly on the panel is possible by pressing and holding
down the Mailbox button. When setting the time, it should be noted that different service
providers specify minimum poll times for the inbox (time between two synchronisations).
Therefore, the set time should not be shorter than the specification of the service provider.
- Settings for the outbox (lower area of the window)
The URL of the e-mail outbox server provider by the service provider
(e.g. "smtp.server.de") should be entered under "Server name".
"Port" specifies the communication port used for the service. Usually "25" should be
entered for SMTP.
"Username" and "Password" define the required access authorisations to send e-mail messages.
The service provider supplies the access data.
"Sender address" specifies the e-mail address which will appear as the source address in
the e-mail message to be sent. Usually, a valid address of the mailbox is entered here.
If the service provide requires authentication on the inbox server before sending an e-mail
message, then the checkbox "Log on to server before sending" should be activated.
i The set e-mail parameters are a component part of the opened project of the PC Client
software. The settings in the project file are permanently saved, if the menu item "Save" or
"Save as" is select in the "Project" menu.
