DO"test email"[mailto:[e-mail]]
...
EMAIL: Connecting to server
EMAIL: Sending to [e-mail]

If you have a problem with email, try setting
P56=8. This will show all traffic between the DT80 and the SMTP server,
which may be helpful in diagnosing the problem.

dEX Modem Test
If you used the dEX Configuration Builder to configure the modem then it is convenient to use dEX's modem test feature.
On the modem configuration screen (Figure 83), press Test modem and connection... This will start a short "wizard"
that will take the modem settings as configured in dEX and then carry out a similar set of tests to those described in
Command Interface (P215) above.
Take note of the warnings on the first page of the wizard, then press Next. You can now enter a mobile number (for
testing SMS), and email address (for receiving a test email) and details of an FTP server (for receiving a test file upload
from the DT80). These settings are all optional – if omitted then the associated test is skipped.
For example, Figure 86 shows the details filled in for the SMS and email tests.

Press Next, then Start tests. This will:
• temporarily configure the DT80 using the current dEX settings (send the required PROFILE commands)
• start a communications session (
SESSION START command) and connect to the mobile network
• connect to the Internet
• perform a network check, if enabled. This will attempt to contact the DNS or configured ping servers to verify
network connectivity
