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 e-mail address and the address of the SMTP server (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) of an e-mail account must be entered. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol transmits e-mails unencrypted in plain text by default. 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. If the SMTP server requires authentication, the user name and password of the e-mail account must also be entered.
If the KentixONE plan is activated, it is also possible to send e-mails via the KentixONE online service. No further settings are required for this. The KentixONE mail service uses STARTTLS as encryption mode.
