5.2. Configuring the Mail Server

OPC DataHub™ : Version 6.4
	Chapter 5. OPC to Email and SMS

Before you can send email from the OPC DataHub, you will need to configure the DataHub mail server program, as follows:

With the DataHub running, right click on the DataHub system-tray icon and choose Properties.
In the Properties window, select Email/SMS .
Enter the information that you want to use for sending the email. This can be the same as the SMTP server listed in your email client program.
SMTP Server:
The name of the SMTP server.
Port:
The SMTP port number (typically this is port 25).
Sender Email:
The email address of the sender. This will appear in the From field of the email. The address can be in either of these two forms:
username@datadomain.com will be displayed as username@datadomain.com in the email reader (client).
User Name <username@datadomain.com> will be displayed as User Name in the email reader (client).
User name:
The log-in name you use to access this SMTP account.
Password:
The applicable password.
Click the Apply or OK button to submit your entries.

The DataHub mailer is now ready to use. If you haven't already done so, we suggest sending a test message as explained in the next section.
