The “Email Address” is the address to which error notification emails
will be sent by the control module. The “Email Server” and “Port” are
the name (i.e., smtp.mymailservice.com) of the mail server and the
port that it listens to for outbound SMTP. If authentication is required,
fill in the “Username” and “Password.” Otherwise, leave them blank.
“Username” and “Password” represent the control module’s email
account on the specified mail server. If a username and password
are specified, the email will arrive From: “Username.” Otherwise, the
email will arrive From: “Hostname.”
To minimize the number of emails sent for intermittent errors (for
example, amp thermal fault cycling in a system exposed to excessive
heat), the control module will send one email per error, until the error
is acknowledged. Once the error is acknowledged, a subsequent
error will result in a new email. The administrator acknowledges
errors by clicking on the “Acknowledge” link that appears under
“Operations” when an error is present (see MCS Error Display, page
34).
Once you have configured your email parameters, you may test your
configuration by asking the control module to generate a “test”
email. To do this, click Test. An email will be generated and sent.
If the email does not get through, you may need to modify your
configuration or the configuration of your SMTP outbound relay
(server).
Date and Time – Time Zone
The QtPro can use a network clock or the RTC (Real-time Clock) in
the unit. The field called “NTP Server” is used to identify the name
of the network time server when it is being used (default being pool.
ntp.org). The date and time for the Real-time Clock are set within this
window.
If the Real Time Clock is to be used, it should be set prior to adjusting
operating levels. The Real Time Clock is set using the pull-down
menus under “Administration: Date and Time”. You MUST set the
day-of-the-week (e.g. Sun, Mon, Tues, etc), the date, and the time.
The RTC will only be used if the control module has been unable to
access an external time server (e.g. 0.us.pool.ntp.org) since it was
powered on. This may be because the control module is not on a
network or because the corporate network’s firewall prevents access
to the Internet based servers.
The source for the control module’s time stamp is listed next to the
time stamp as either “SNTP” (external time server - accessed via
