If you do not have an email service to connect to the SBH, configure an SMTP host for the alarms. The configuration is different depending on whether you want to use TLS encryption.

Option 1: To use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, use the settings in Table 1.

Table 1. TLS encryption - On
Field Description or Setting
TLS On
Host smtp.gmail.com
Port 465
From Email Address Email address for sender of message
Site Name Name of the site
User Name Google account User name
Password Google account password

Option 2: If you do not want to use TLS encryption, use the settings in Table 2.

Table 2. TLS encryption - Off
Field Description or Setting
TLS Off
Host smtp.gmail.com
Port 587
From Email Address Email address for sender of message
Site Name Name of the site
User Name Google account user name
Password Google account password
Note:
  • If you are using Google as an SMTP Host, you can set the DNS server in the Settings > Ethernet section to the Google DNS Servers (IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
  • The first time you connect your Google account and send the first email, Google blocks it. You then receive a notification in your Gmail inbox that it does not recognize the device that is trying to access the account. You need to change the account to give access to less secure applications.
