Question:

How do I configure email alerts?


Resolution:

In order to send email alerts, LANsurveyor must be configured to use your preferred email server(s). To configure your email server values, select Tools>Options>Network and enter the following values:

Primary Email Server: the IP address or domain name of your main SMTP (email) server -- this is probably the same server that is configured in your email client software.

Backup Email Server: the IP address or domain name of a backup or secondary SMTP server, which will be used if the Primary Email Server is not responding

Email From Address: the email address that LANsurveyor will use as the "from" address when sending the email

Use SMTP Authentication: check this option if your SMTP server requires authentication in order to send email (LANsurveyor uses CRAM-MD5 or LOGIN authentication methods)

SMTP Authentication Password: the password associated with the "from" address used during authentication
