Installation Instructions

Configuring the
Email Settings
The Securitron Netlink can be configured to send
email alerts on user-specified conditions and periodic
status reports. Underneath the SNMP Settings block
on the Configure page is the Email Settings block.
Under “Receive Addresses”, the email address or addresses
to receive the alerts and reports should be entered. Up
to four recipient email addresses may be entered.
NOTE: Regarding Microsoft Exchange – By Default, Microsoft
Exchange will not accept SMTP connections. To use the Securitron
Netlink’s email functions through Microsoft Exchange, the
Exchange service must be configured to allow SMTP connections.
Consult with the administrator of your Microsoft Exchange Server.
NOTE: Click the Submit button to save the settings, which
will take effect after rebooting the Securitron Netlink.
TIP: Most mobile phone providers have an email address
available which will convert an email into an SMS text
message. This email address is usually in the form of:
(the mobile phone number)@xxxxxx. Consult with
your mobile provider for more information. The CSV
attachment will be removed, since SMS text messages
are not compatible with attachments. Because of this,
it is recommended that the SMS email be entered as an
ADDITIONAL “Receive Address” on the Securitron Netlink,
so that the CSV file will still be available via regular email.
The Email Test Section
Below the Email Settings section is the Email Test
section. After configuring the email settings, the Email
Test button will send a test email to all Email Receive
addresses. Please note that it could take an hour or
more to receive the email, depending on the speed
of your email server. Clicking the Show Email Log
button will show the feedback from the email server.
This can be useful for diagnosing email problems.
VPN Settings
The VPN Settings section is not utilized
on Securitron AQL Power Systems.
Under “Sender”, the settings of the account to send the
emails should be entered. These settings include:
Sender SMTP
Server
This is the address of the SMTP server for the email provider.
Consult with your email provider for this address.
Sender’s Email
This is the email address which the Securitron
Netlink will use to send emails.
Sender Email
Password
This is the password associated with the Sender’s Email account.
TLS
Check this box if your email provider requires TLS or SSL encryption.
SMTP Port #
Enter the port number required by your email
provider for sending email. Usually this is “25”.
Authentication
Choose the proper authentication method for your email
provider from the drop-down list. Usually, this is “login”.
Select “off” to completely disable authentication.
Send Period
Selects how often the Securitron Netlink sends a regular email
status report. The period can vary from 1 hour to 6 months
or, if you do not want the Securitron Netlink to send periodic
reports, select “Never”. Note that the “Send Period” setting does
not affect the sending of email alerts generated on faults or
events selected by the user, only the periodic status report.
