Mail & FTP

E-mail settings

Video Server not only plays the role of server, it will also actively connect to servers

outside to send out messages or snapshots. When Video Server starts, it will send out a

system log via e-mail as long as the settings are correct rather than upload it via FTP.

Video Server will send out a connection log whenever it dials out to an ISP or dialup

server outside. If the administrator has setup some applications in either event mode or

sequential mode, Video Server will send out snapshots once conditions are met. To

activate e-mail function, enter correct settings of "1st SMTP (mail) server" and "1st

Recipient email address". "2nd SMTP (mail) server" and "2nd Recipient email

address" are provided for backup connection when the primary one fails. "Sender

email address" is whom the mail will return when the SMTP server rejects upon any

failure. Some ISP may reject the mail if the address is invalid.

FTP settings

To send the log files described in the above paragraph via FTP, the SMTP server should be

erased. Administrators must enter correct "1st FTP Server", "1st FTP user name" and

"1st FTP password". "1st FTP remote folder" is the relative sub-folder in the remote

FTP server. If the port of the remote FTP server is changed other than 21, set the real

port to “1st FTP server port”. If the local network is protected by a firewall to prevent

from initiating FTP connection from the remote FTP server, you may be able to connect

to the FTP server but unable to put any file due to data channel connection failure. Check

“1st FTP passive mode” for passive transfer solution. Another set of "2nd" server

settings is also provided for backup connection.

In either e-mail or FTP, the primary server information should be entered first. If the

primary server is not set, the related FTP or email will be cancelled. Note that it may take

time to connect to the secondary server after the first one fails and it may affect some

applications when conditions happen too often.
