2Overview

This guide will provide instructions for setting up an Authsmtp.com account and explain how

to configure the SITRANS RD500 email client.

Authsmtp is an email service that allows SITRANS RD500 to send alarms, data-logs, and other

reports to an email recipient.

No software programs are needed for any part of the installation process. Only a Web

browser is required to obtain an account from authsmtp.com for the email service.

This application guide assumes the user is already familiar with logging into SITRANS RD500.

Note

This application guide should be used in addition to the SITRANS RD500 operating

instructions.

1. Log in to SITRANS RD500 and navigate to Configure > Network > tab.

we will use the Google public DNS server IP address: 8.8.8.8.

mail.authsmtp.com and recognize the IP address of the email server. The DNS IP address

may be different if you are using SITRANS RD500 on a company network.

7. Recipients should check their email to confirm that the test message has been received.

3.3 How to register a whole domain with Authsmtp.com

It is also possible to register a whole domain with Authsmtp.com. Adding a whole domain

allows you to authorize many email addresses, with the same domain name, to send alerts

from SITRANS RD500.

Registering a whole domain is also useful if you have a number of sites set up to send email

from SITRANS RD500. Registering each domain name allows each site to send alerts from its

own email addresses.

1. Select the Register From Addresses tab. Then click Add Domain.

2. Enter the domain name you would like to register and click Submit.

3. A confirmation email will be sent to postmaster@yourdomain or admin@yourdomain.com.

Open this email and click the link to confirm your account.

When the domain is registered, any email address (reverse path) using your email address

domain name, @yourdomain.com, will be authorized to send email.
