webserver or to run Remote Upstart using the local SPIM, and you would
have to open port 9762 if you want to run the ESI software remotely.
Each router is different, so check your router documentation for
information on how to do this.
 An example of where you might need to change the remote access port is
where an ISP blocks port 80. The ISP does not want you running a full
blown general purpose webserver on your premises, so they block port
80 to prevent this type of use. We’ve also seen port 8080 blocked.
 If you make a change to the Remote Webserver or Remote Access port,
make sure you click on the Update button. In fact, we recommend that
you reboot the unit (pull power and reapply power) after changing any of
the default values for ports.
NOTE – after changing the IP address, if you are unable to access the webpages,
exit your browser, then restart the browser. If you still have problems, use the
Ethernet Discoverer application to determine the IP address.
Email Configuration
The Networking Configuration page has an added option on the screen – Email
Configuration. In earlier versions of the RUC, when you wanted to send an
Email from a trigger, the system was setup to send a command to a Web
Mountain server, which then sent the email for you. One of the reasons to do
this is the continuing complexity created by ISPs trying to reduce or eliminate
spam. For example, networking port 25 has historically been used for SMTP
email sending. However, this port has been compromised so often that many
ISPs block port 25 and instead require you to use a more custom port, such as
port 587 or 465. By using the Web Mountain method, we just removed that
complexity.
However, due to customer requests, we are providing an option to allow the use
of a customer designated SMTP server. Be advised that this option is not
working completely. We have successfully sent email using port 587, but have
had problems, apparently with authentication, sending to port 25 on various
SMTP servers. So, there is no guarantee at the current time that this will work
going to port 25.
By default, the checkbox for Use WMT Email servers is checked. To use servers
other than WMT servers, go to the bottom of the Networking Configuration page
and enter in the appropriate information as shown below:
