Ac3 e-mail setup

[peterlin98]

Hi all -
holiday is this weekend and I sure like to get e-mail setup with AC3. A friend said he got email to work with gmail and AC3. I tried it but no luck. When I press Email test and no message is received in my gmail account. my questions are

1. Is it true that gmail does not require password/login authentication?

If #1 is true, then the following questions
2. What smtp server to use? I use this link to check on smtp server
http://www.xav.com/mx_lookup.pl?fix
MX Record Lookup

it tells me gsmtp163.google.com


There is a setting called ReEmail delay - currently set to 60 M. I'm not sure what this does.

thank you,
Peter

It should not require authentication if you are sending to a gmail email account using the gmail smtp server. The smtp server you list should work. You can get some debug information out of the controller concerning email by doing the following:

- login to the controller through telnet. (Type 'telnet 192.168.1.50' from start->run menu on your PC). Login w/ the user name and password.
- At the AquaController prompt type:

1 maild
cons
mail

If you can't interpret the log, please email it to support@neptunesys.com.
The reemail delay is the amount of time to wait before sending a second email if the alarm condition persists.

Thanks Curt.

I tried from XP Home, Start>Run>telnet 192.168.2.50

getting back "could not open connection to the host. on port 23: connect failed"

So I tried instead from a cmd.exe window
telnet "192.168.2.50" 80

After a brief delay, getting back this result

HTTP/0.0 501 Not Implemented
Server: AquaController 3.0

Connection to host lost.

You probably already have AquaNotes connected to the controller.
