SMS SMTP

About this task

Optionally configure an email host server (for example: smtp.gmail.com) along with sender related credentials and the recipient gateway email address to which the message is emailed. The gateway server converts the email into SMS and sends the message to the guest user‘s mobile device.

When sending an email, the email client interacts with a SMTP server to handle the content transmission. The SMTP server on the host may have conversations with other SMTP servers to deliver the Email.

To define a guest management configuration using SMS SMTP:

Procedure

Select Configuration > Services > Guest Management.
Review existing guest management configurations to determine whether new configuration requires creation or an existing guest user configuration requires modification or deletion.
Select the SMS SMTP tab.

Guest Management - Add/Edit - SMS SMTP Tab

Set the following SMS SMTP guest user network and message content information required for notifying a guest with a passcode:


Enable	Enable this setting to configure an email host server (for example: smtp.gmail.com) along with sender related credentials and the recipient gateway Email address to which the message is emailed. This setting is disabled by default and must be enabled to define the required settings.
Host	Define a hostname or IPv4 formatted IP address of the SMS gateway server resource used for guest management email traffic, guest user credential validation and passcode reception. Consider providing the host as an alias. An alias enables an administrator to define a configuration item, such as a hostname, as an alias once and use the alias across different configuration items.
Sender	Provide a 100 character maximum sender name for the guest user receiving the passcode required for registering their guest email credentials using SMTP.
Security	Use the drop-down menu to select `ssl` or `starttls` as the SMTP server user authentication validation scheme for this particular username and password combination. Optionally select None to apply to no additional user authentication beyond the required username and password combination. The default value is `ssl`.
Username	Provide a unique 64 character maximum username unique to this SMTP guest management configuration. This username requires its own password and must be correctly provided to receive the required passcode for registering guest user credentials.
Password	Define a 64 character maximum password that must be correctly provided with the unique username to receive the required passcode for registering guest user credentials with SMTP.
Email of Recipient	Enter a 64 character maximum email address for the recipient of guest management email traffic.
Subject	Enter a 100 character maximum email subject for the email message sent to the guest user along with the required passcode.
Message	Enter a 1024 character maximum email message per the message format required by the gateway server. The sms-over-smtp message format is the required format from clickatell while sending email to the SMS gateway server.
