1.1.24 [E-MAIL] Section
The [E-MAIL] section of the CFG file defines the network and file parameters to
be associated with each of the 20 potential e-mail messages that can be sent
from the module. The format of the section is different than the other sections of
the configuration file. Each e-mail definition is contained on a single line between
the labels START and END. These labels inform the program where the list
resides. The module's program will parse all data after the START label until it
reaches the END label or until 20 e-mail messages are defined.
The format of each definition in the list is the same with the content dependent on
the operation to perform. An example section from the CFG file is shown below:
[E-MAIL]
# DB Trigger Mail TO
# Reg Value Server IP Name E-Mail File Name
START
4000 1 192.168.0.5 [email protected] stat
4000 2 192.168.0.5 [email protected] commands
4000 3 192.168.0.5 [email protected] errlist
4000 4 192.168.0.5 [email protected] emailcfg
4000 5 192.168.0.5 [email protected] example.rpt
END
Each parameter is discussed below:
DB Reg
0 to 9999
This parameter specifies the register in the virtual database in the module to be
associated with the Trigger Value parameter. The register value can be
controlled by Server devices based on data acquired using the command list or
from commands issued on the network from a remote Client unit.
Trigger Value
This parameter specifies the value in the database to trigger the e-mail message.
When the value entered for this parameter is first recognized in the virtual
database at the register specified in the DB Reg parameter, the e-mail message
will be generated. The value must change in order for the value to be re-used.
Most applications will use a single register with different trigger values generating
different messages. The example displayed above uses this technique.
Mail Server IP
This parameter specifies the IP address of the mail server to be reached with the
e-mail message. Refer to your network administrator for this information.
To Name
This parameter must contain a valid user or e-mail account information for your
network. Groups of people can be designated to receive an individual e-mail
message by setting the appropriate name in this field. Refer to your network
administrator for a list of accounts.
