Geist RCX Series v3 - Manual (Page 32)

GM1111 32 Revision Date 4/3/2014
An SMTP server as well as “From” and “To” addresses are required to send e-mails. Some mail
servers may require a username and password. In most cases, the username does not have to
match the “From” address, but does need to be a valid user on the authenticating server.
Microsoft Exchange servers will have to be set to allow SMTP relay from the IP address of the
unit. In addition, a test email can be sent from the bottom of the Monitoring tab of the
Configuration page.
Note: The unit cannot receive e-mails. The POP3 server is used strictly for authentication and is not
required when the protocol is set to ESMTP or None.
Status Reports
When enabled, the unit will periodically send a full status report to all “To” e-mail addresses
selected for the report. The report includes current unit data from all attached sensors as
well as alarm states. Reporting frequency options are: weekly, hourly, every 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,
12, 24, or 48 hours. E-mail addresses are selected when the report is created by checking
the corresponding e-mail destination box. Allowing the cursor to hover over an e-mail
destination box will display the e-mail address that the box is associated with.

SNMP
The unit supports retrieval of all data via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1,
v2c, and v3. In addition, alarm traps can be sent to up to two IP addresses. The SNMP
configuration is entered on the Monitoring tab of the Configuration page.
