Server Requirements

The mail server will accept messages from the FAAST detector and attempt to relay them to the specified recipients. This server must

meet the following requirements:

• Accept and deliver messages from the e-mail address specified in the Sender Account field.
• Accept and relay SMTP messages from port 25 without requiring authentication.
• Have connectivity and DNS service to networks (such as the Internet) where recipient mail servers reside.

E-mail Client Requirements

Once connectivity to the mail server is established, the integrated SMTP client will communicate with the server to deliver alarm and

fault e-mail notifications. For the client to work properly, the following are required:

• The Sender Account field is used to populate the SMTP “From” field and specifies where an e-mail message originates. This

field should be populated with an e-mail address specifically reserved for the detector. An e-mail account may need to be cre-

ated and added to the mail server by the server administrator.

• Up to 6 recipient e-mail addresses and desired notifications must be configured.

E-mail Client Configuration

The integral SMTP client is configured using the PipeIQ software. Before attempting to configure the e-mail client, the IP configuration

of the detector should be completed and network connectivity verified. For instructions, see the TCP/IP Connectivity section earlier

in this guide.

1. Start the PipeIQ software application.
2. Open the project for it using File -> Open.
3. Double-click the desired device to open the Configuration window.
