E-mail Recipient Setup


The primary method for remote notification of Transmitter alarms and Events is e-mail. SMS is support via an "E-mail to SMS" service such as TextMagicTM. The RF500 Gateway sends al e-mail via SMTP mail servers. SMT servers that require authorisation using SSL or a validated FROM address are also supported. See MailSystemSetup for more details.

If a Yahoo! Mail or Google GMail account is used solely for RF500 e-mails then you should regularly log into the account using a web-browser otherwise these organisations suspect the accounts dormant and suspend it.

RF500 allows up to 24 e-mail/SMS recipients. To configure these; click Administration-Email Recipients; a table showing the 24 available notification recipient slots is shown. Each slot can be assigned an identification name.

Time Slots

This feature allows suppression of e-mail alerts at programmable times throughout a 7-Day weekly period. To use E-mail Time Slots,
click on the button and the Time Slots setup page is displayed as below.

Figure 3 - Time Slot Setup

The page displays a grid of cells corresponding to every 30 minute timeslot throughout a 7-Day weekly period. When this feature is enabled email alerts generated by the Gateway for the associated recipient are either allowed or disallowed. White cells denote those times during which alerts will not be generated, coloured cells denote those times during which alerts will be generated.

For example, the page above shows that recipient "Andy" only wishes to receive e-mail alerts between the hours of 08:00 and 16:59 on Monday through Friday.

To make a selection click in each individual cell to toggle between allowing, and disallowing e-mails generated at the time and day represented by that timeslot cell. If you left click on a cell, you can drag and drop the mouse to make multiple selections or deselection.

Click on to select all timeslot cells to allow e-mails or click on to set all timeslot cells to disallow e-mails.
