If you provide a username and password, provide a SQL user account, not a
Windows user account.

Does this:

Server Location

Sets the name of the FactoryTalk AssetCentre Machine Edition
computer. Leave this setting as it is.

Base IP Port

Sets the Internet Protocol (IP) port that the FactoryTalk AssetCentre
Scheduler Service will use. By default, this port is 7002. The system
uses the base port, plus the next two consecutive ports. So by default
7002 to 7004 are reserved. If you specify 7000, for example, 7000
through 7002 would be reserved.

SMTP Server

Specifies the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) address of your
outgoing SMTP (e-mail) server. For example, mailrelay.myplant.com.

The domain provided here (myplant.com in the example above) is used
to form the address from which e-mail notifications from FactoryTalk
AssetCentre will be sent. The “From” e-mail address will be
[email protected].

If you do not know the name of your SMTP server, consult your
network administrator.

SMTP Server IP Port

Sets the IP port used to communicate with your SMTP server. By
default, this port is 25. Some facilities use a different port. If you do not
know your SMTP port number, consult your network administrator.

If you use a port other than 25 and are using a firewall, you’ll have to
also open that port in your firewall.
