Manage System
Define your company's outgoing email account information used for sending system alarm email notifications, and incoming email server requirements used to receive system alarm email acknowledgements (if remote acknowledgment is permitted).
- In System Preferences select the Email Settings tab.
-
In the Outgoing Server area, type a valid send from address (email notifications from viewLinc are sent from
this address, so the email address must exist within your company), then complete the
following:
- SMTP server
- Type the mail server address. For example, smtp.company.com.
- Port
- Type the outgoing mail server port number (between 1-65535, default is 25). Your IT network administrator has this information.
- SMTP authentication
- Select if your outgoing mail server requires authentication, and then type the username or email address, and password required to send email.
-
viewLinc automatically uses secure SMTP if it is supported by the SMTP server.
- Select Send Test Email to verify the test email is sent successfully.
-
In the Incoming Server area, configure the required mail server settings for your connection type:
- Connection type: POP3
-
- POP3 server
- Type the incoming POP3 mail server name (for example, pop.company.com).
- Port
- Type the incoming mail server port number (default is 110).
- User name and Password
- Type the username (or address) and password for a valid POP3 account, required to receive email.
- Connection type: IMAP
-
- IMAP server
- Type the incoming IMAP mail server name (for example, imap.company.com).
- Port
- Type the incoming IMAP mail server port number (default is 143).
- User name and Password
- Type the username (or address) and password for a valid IMAP account, required to receive email.
