DNS servers

The unit cannot send any e-mail messages unless the IP address of the

primary DNS server is defined (see DNS servers).

The unit will wait a maximum of 15 seconds for a response from the primary

or (if specified) the secondary DNS server. If the unit does not receive a

response within that time, e-mail cannot be sent. Therefore, use DNS

servers that are on the same segment as the unit or on a nearby segment

(but not across a WAN).

Once you define the IP addresses of the DNS servers, verify that DNS is

working correctly. Enter the DNS name of a computer on your network to

test whether you can look up the IP address for that DNS name.

SMTP settings

The Email option in the Network menu accesses the following settings:

Setting Description

SMTP Server

Defines the SMTP server by its DNS name.

Note: This definition is required only when the SMTP Server option

(see Email recipients) is set to Local.

From Address

Defines the contents of the From field in the e-mail messages sent

by the unit.

Note: The SMTP server’s configuration may require that you use a

valid user account on the server for this setting. See the

server’s documentation for more information.
