Hi,

I'm new to the EmailRelay function.  I'm attempting to get an email sent to myself when a variable goes over a certain value.  The response I get from the EmailRelay function when it is triggered is a value of -3 with the message "Cannot connect to Kone".  I believe I've enabled DNS (but I'm also pretty new to IP/networking/IT stuff, so I may not have those settings correct).  I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for me.  My setup is detailed below (except I altered the email address:

CR6 OS: CR6.Std.07

Modem: RV50

The CR6 is connected to the RV50 through the RS232/CPI port on the CR6 to the serial port of the RV50.

Under the CS I/O IP tab in the DevCon Utility for the CR6 I have the DNS Server 1 and 2 as the same IP addresses as what were used in the RV50 modem.

Here is my code:

'Declare Variables and Units
Const ToAddr="user@domainname.com"
Const Subject="Email Message Test"
Const Message="Test Message......."

Public BattV
Public PTemp_C
Public SW12State As Boolean
Public SW12State_2 As Boolean
Public SW12_2Count
Public EmailSuccess
Public ServerResponse As String

Units BattV=Volts
Units PTemp_C=Deg C

'Define Data Tables
DataTable(Hist_1Hr,True,-1)
	DataInterval(0,60,Min,10)
	Minimum(1,BattV,FP2,False,False)
	Average(1,PTemp_C,FP2,False)
EndTable

DataTable(Hist_1Day,True,-1)
	DataInterval(0,1440,Min,10)
	Minimum(1,BattV,FP2,False,False)
EndTable

Any help or ideas is appreciated!

Is your datalogger configured to use the modem in PPP mode?

Not being in PPP mode is the most common reason people can't send emails with dataloggers connected to cell modems.

Well that's probably my problem, since it was inactive.  Now I just need to figure out what the correct settings are for PPP.  Is the IP Address just the address for the Modem?  Thanks for the amazingly quick reply!

Step 6 of the RV50 quick deploy guide has the PPP settings you should use on the datalogger.

Great, thanks for the quick help.  It's up and working now!
