Appendix B. EmailSend Using the Gmail Outgoing
SMTP Server
The datalogger has a mail client in it similar to a mail client on a computer. For
the datalogger to send an email, it needs an SMTP server to send through like
any other mail client. The Telus Wireless SMTP server can be used for sending
outgoing email from the datalogger. Contact your service provider for more
information.
In order for the datalogger to send email, a PPP connection between the
datalogger and modem is required. Please refer to Appendix A for details on
this configuration.
B.1 Setting up a Gmail Account
First you need to create a Gmail account if you do not already have one. To
create an account, go to www.gmail.com. Gmail accounts are free of charge.
The credentials to access the mail server will be the user name and password
used when creating the Gmail account.
In the following example program you will see:
x ServerAddr set to smtp.gmail.com
x UserName set to (the gmail account user name)
x Password (the one you established at Gmail)
B.2 Sending to Multiple Addresses
Sending to multiple email address can be done by using a comma to separate
the email addresses ([e-mail] ,
[e-mail]).
B.3 Sending a Text Message to a Phone
The datalogger can only send email messages. To send a text message to a
phone the email needs to be converted to a text message via an email to text
message gateway. Most cellular providers have an email to text message
service for their phone subscribers.
Telus's max text message size is 132 characters, any email messages greater
than 132 characters will be sent as a second message. Contact your service
provider for information about their email to text message gateway server
address.
