# Email Reporting

The newest destination type available is Email Reporting. When Email Recipient is selected, the Catalyst can deliver notification, status, and log file reports to an email address via an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Important Note: An Internet Service Provider must be configured with a phone number and password before an email destination is eligible for reporting. These parameters can be edited under the Configuration menu item >>Devices|ISP Internet_Service_Provider.

Email Address

This is the email address to send the report. You can configure multiple email addresses by separating them by a semi-colon. For example:

Youremail@yourisp.com ; anotheremail@someisp.com ; email@isp.com

Destination Name

This name will appear in the “To:” field of the email header.

Email Reporting Sessions

An email session consists of establishing a link between the Catalyst and the Internet Service Provider, by dialing the ISP, logging into the user account, and then transferring a single report addressed to the intended recipient using SMTP. It is assumed that any report confirmed as received by the ISP will actually be delivered to the email address. Any session errors or diagnostics provided by the ISP will be logged.

No sessions are possible unless the ISP and the recipient’s address are fully configured. Multiple email addressed may be included in the recipient field, separated by semi-colons. Identical reports will be sent to all recipients in a single session.

Alarmware will warn you when you select an email destination before the ISP account has been configured. An incorrect configuration will result in session attempts that fail. Failure explanations received from the ISP will be logged.
