SETUP FOR OUTGOING ACTIONS
SMTP server address
The IP address of the SMTP server where the Email notification will be sent. Put SMTP server IP address. If you
only know the name of the SMTP server (like smtp.domain.com) see the chapter “Finding the IP address of a
given host” on page 226. Note that it is possible to send mails towards an Exchange server when eWON is
located inside from an Intranet, providing the IMC (Internet Mail Connector) ad-in is installed on the Exchange
Server, and this service is configured to accept incoming mails sent by eWON.
SMTP Server port Usually the value is 25. In case of doubt, contact your Internet provider or your Network Administrator to check it.
Email "From" User name
The name of the eWON Email account. For instance: [e-mail].
Will appear in the FROM field of the message sent.

Password SMTP AUTHENTICATION: place here the password. (leave empty if no authentication is required)
Enable NTP clock update
To update the eWON date & time the eWON is able to make a connection automatically on a NTP (Network
Time Protocol) timeserver.
If you want to use that functionality, check the checkbox and fill the next edit boxes.
NTP server address
The IP address of the NTP (Network Time Server Protocol) server. You can easily find a list of NTP servers by
using any Web search engine. If you are working on your own network without a real connection to Internet, we
recommend NTP server software http://www.haytech.com.au/TimeServer/TimeServer.htm
. If you only know the
name of the NTP server (like canon.inria.fr) see the chapter “Finding the IP address of a given host” on
page 226. Note: eWON does not consider the DST data (Daylight Saving Time).
NTP Server Port Usually 123. In case of doubt, contact your Internet provider or your Network Administrator to check it.
GMT Offset
Enter here the offset in hours between your local time zone and the GMT time zone.
This information is required for correct automatic time update.
Update Time Interval Interval in minutes for automatic connection to the NTP Server. Default is 1440= 1 day.
FTP server address
The name of the FTP server where the Put FTP command is issued (alarm action or Script direct PUTFTP
command). Enter FTP server IP address. If you only know the name of the FTP server (like domain.com) see the
chapter “Finding the IP address of a given host” on page 226.
FTP server port Usually the value is 21. In case of doubt, contact your Internet provider or your Network Administrator to check it.
