In the event of alarms and warnings, the system can send e-mails with the corresponding messages. This function is deactivated by default.
To activate the function, the sender email address and the address of the SMTP server (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) of an email account must be entered. By default, the “Simple Mail Transfer Protocol” transmits emails unencrypted in plain text. Encryption is possible and is initiated by the SMTP client. If an encryption mode is used, this must be specified. The supported encryption modes are SSL and STARTTLS. Depending on the encryption mode, the corresponding default port is preset, which can be changed manually at any time. The user name and password of the e-mail account are also required.
If there is a connection to the KentixONE online service, e-mails can be sent via this service. No further settings are required for this. The KentixONE online service uses STARTTLS as the encryption mode.
