VPort 2141 Video Encoder User’s Manual System Configuration
4-9
Mail & FTP
SMTP
The VPort 2141 not only plays the role of server, but also actively connects to outside servers to
send alarm messages or snapshots. If the administrator has set up some applications in either event
mode or sequential mode, the VPort will send out snapshots once these conditions occur.
1. To activate the e-mail function, enter the correct settings for 1
st
SMTP (mail) server’s
domain name, account name/password, and Recipient email address.
2. MTP (mail) server’s domain name, account name/password, and Recipient email address
are provided for a backup connection when the primary SMTP server fails.
3. Sender email address is the address the email is returned to when the SMTP server rejects
email due to failure. Some ISPs may reject the email if the address is invalid.
ATTENTION
If the settings are correct when the VPort starts up, it will send out a system log via e-mail
instead of uploading the log via FTP. Note that if the Sender email address is not set, the e-mail
system will not work properly.
