5.4.3 E-Mail


To inform the intercom users of all missed and/or successfully completed calls, configure the 2N IP intercom to send an e-mail after every call to the called user. You can compile the e-mail subject and message text of your own. If your intercom is equipped with a camera, you can automatically attach one or more snapshots taken during the call or ringing.

The intercom sends e-mails to all the users whose valid e-mail addresses are included in the users list. If the E-Mail parameter in the user list is empty, e-mails are sent to the default e-mail address.

You can also send e-mails via Automation using the Action.SendEmail action.

Note

  • The e-mail function is available with the Gold license only.


SMTP



  • SMTP Service Enabled – enable/disable sending e-mails from the intercom.



  • Server Address – set the SMTP server address to which e-mails shall be sent.
  • Server Port – specify the SMTP server port. Modify the value only if the SMTP server setting is substandard. The typical SMTP port value is 25.



  • Username – enter a valid username for login if the SMTP server requires authentication, or leave the field empty if not.
  • Password – enter the SMTP server login password.
  • Client Certificate – specify the client certificate and private key for the intercom – SMTP server communication encryption. Choose one of the three sets of user certificates and private keys (refer to the Certificates Subs.) or keep the SelfSigned setting, in which the certificate automatically generated upon the first intercom power up is used.



  • From Address – set the sender address for all outgoing e-mails from the device.



  • Deliver In – set the time limit for delivering an e-mail to an inaccessible SMTP server.



Click Apply & Test to send a testing e-mail to the defined address with the aim to test the functionality of the current e-mail sending setting. Enter the destination e-mail address into the Test e-mail address field and press the button. The current e-mail sending state is continuously displayed in the window for you to detect an e-mail setting problem if any on the intercom or another network element. One camera shot is always attached to the e-mail even in cameraless models where the image is sent with N/A.
