Room Alert 32W Configuration And Setup Screens
Initial Email Setup
First, check the ‘Email Enabled’ checkbox and enter the domain name or IP address of the mail
server being used in the ‘Mail Server’ field on the ‘SMTP Email’ tab. Next, enter an email address in

authentication is required, check the ‘Enable Authentication’ checkbox and enter a valid username

in the ‘Email Addresses’ field. If more than one email address is entered, use a comma (,) as the

Footer Enabled’ checkbox controls whether the email footer with AVTECH contact information is

The ‘Display URL’ field configures the link that is displayed in email messages. This defaults to the
local IP address and port, although can be modified if desired.
