To have the unit send e-mail, you need to set the SMTP Server name and the Return e-mail Address,
Username (if required) and Password (if required). To have the unit respond to Two-Way e-mail
commands you must also set the POP Server name, e-mail account Username & Password, and the
Mail Check Interval.
SMTP Error messages
If your e-mail settings are incomplete or incorrect there are some messages that will appear in the
Event History log which may be helpful.

mail. If you have at least these two items programmed and the IMS-4000 is unable to deliver the
message, then you will get the message “SMTP Server not Responding,” which essentially means
that you have one or more of the following problems:
