Email Options
Once a log is complete, Conext Configuration Tool can automatically compress it
and send it off site to a specific email account. Of course, for this feature to work,
it is necessary for the computer running Conext Configuration Tool to be
connected to the Internet and have access to an SMTP server.
This feature requires an account with an SMTP (Simple Message Transfer
Protocol) server only. It will not send from IMAP, Exchange Server, or a webmail-
only email account. It can, however, send to any of those kinds of email
accounts.
To enable email, select Email. This expands the Email folder and enables the
following configuration fields.
Destination address
The email address that the log file is sent to.
Sending address
The address that the log file will appear to come from.
SMTP Server
The SMTP server relays the email to the destination address. You may need to
ask your ISP or system administrator for email connection parameters. The server
name may follow the formats “smtp.yourprovider.com” or
“mail.yourprovider.com”.
Port
The default port for SMTP is 25. However, some servers may use a different port
to get around firewalls.
Email Userid and Password
Depending on how your network is set up, it may be necessary to provide a
userid and password for authentication. If it is, use the two fields provided to
enter your userid and password.
Notify of log start
Select Notify of log start if you want an email to be sent to the destination address
when logging starts. This lets the recipient know that the email connection is
working and when to expect the first log file.
