Falcon firmware versions 5.3 and above can send e-
mail messages over a network connection or through
a dial-up connection to an ISP. The
link
allows users to configure the Falcon so it sends alarm
notifications via e-mail. The Falcon will send one
e-mail message per alarm instance to a maximum
of eight e-mail recipients. This allows the Falcon to
send e-mail messages when inputs are in alarm state.
The
link displays a data entry form which is
used to configure the e-mail settings.
•
Access Type
specifies to send the message
through a local network or over a PPP dial up
connection.
•
DUN User Name and Password
are only
used if PPP is selected. Use these blanks to
specify the dial-up networking user name
and password. Contact your ISP for this
information.
•
DUN Phone Number
is the number the
Falcon dials to connect to the ISP. Contact
your IT Department to obtain this phone
number.
•
DNS Servers
are provided by your ISP. This
information is needed to deliver the e-mail
message.
•
The
Mail (SMTP) Server
specifies the
e-mail server used to receive/send mail.
•
The
Mail Sender Address
is the address
that will be displayed in the form field of the
e-mail messages.
•
The
Mail Subject
is displayed in the
subject field of the received e-mails. Adding
&m inserts the MAC Address of the Falcon
into the e-mail subject line. This ensures the
e-mail subject is always unique to a Falcon.
•
Up to eight e-mail recipients can be specified
in the
Mail Recipient (1)
through
Mail Recipient (8)
fields.

An individual e-mail client can be configured to
enhance the capabilities of the Falcon. The e-mail
client can be set up to filter e-mails from specific
Falcons and automatically place the e-mails into
specific folders. Some e-mail clients can also be
set up to automatically forward the e-mail to other
recipients.
