Added information about available sockets
Installation of iSMA Mail Service Kit
Sockets Available in the iSMA-B-AAC20 Controller
The iSMA-B-AAC20 controller has 16 sockets for Modbus network. 3 out of 16
sockets are permanently occupied for:
- Modbus Server
- SOX
- web server
Consequently, there are 13 sockets left to use in the device, for example, the Modbus TCP network can communicate with 13 devices with different IP addresses and connect them to application (adding more devices automatically forces them into the fault status). Also, adding any of the iSMA Weather or iSMA MailService kits occupies 1 socket per each kit (which becomes apparent after adding the kit and its components, saving the application, and rebooting the controller). The iSMA MailService kit can occupy more sockets if the mail service is configured for one account on one host–each next host occupies next sockets.

MailService Kit
The iSMA MailService kit consists of three components:

- Email Alarm Recipient: defines e-mail recipients.
WARNING! Prior to starting the e-mail service on the ISMA-B-AAC20
controller, make sure that the controller’s default gateway and DNS (if the
Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically slot is set to false) are properly set
in the plat service.
All three components should be located in a service branch one under another
as per the figure below:
To create a new e-mail service, select the email service component from the
Device Kits window, drag and drop it to the Workspace Tree, Device > app >
service. In the Enabled slot choose true. To configure the parameters for a
sending account, add an OutAccount component (by drag-and-drop from the Device
Kits window) to the previously added EMailService component. To configure the
recipient’s account parameters, add the EMailAlarmRecipient component (by
drag-and-drop from the Device Kits window) to the previously added OutAccount
component. Fill in the To address slot with an e-mail address, which the
messages will be sent to. Change the Enabled slot to true. To ensure proper
working of the service, the controller must be connected to the internet.
Note: Only a non-encrypted e-mail server shall be used to send out alarm
messages. Recommended servers are: http://www.lycos.com (64.98.36.139) or
