15.1.2 Notes for advanced users
Gateways
FP Web-Server V2.810 EN
In the Internet, e-mail server(s) are normally addressed with a name
rather than with its direct IP address. But for name resolution, the IP
address of an Domain Name Server (DNS) is necessary. (FP
Web-Server hardware version using BIOS v1.03 simplifies DNS usage).
For easier configuration using the e-mail server(s), direct IP addresses
are recommended (...if they can be acquired and are not changed by
the e-mail ISP).
An SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server is needed to send
e-mails. An Internet SMTP server only allows registered users
(registered e-mail sender addresses) to send e-mails. Additionally some
e-mail ISPs protect their SMTP servers with a login procedure. For this a
POP3 e-mail server is used to check the user name and password
before an e-mail can be sent.
Most of the time a POP3 login is used.
You can also set up an FP Web-Server that is configured as a PPP server
which can the be dialed up by a distant FP Web-Server's PPP client
(instead of an ISP). This FP Web-Server, i.e. the PPP server, works as a
dialup gateway for a LAN where an e-mail server can be used to send
e-mails.
For further details on special connections, please refer to the following:
"When Using a Cellular Phone (GSM) Modem (see p. 152)"
"When Using GPRS Internet Connections (see p. 152)"
If your FP Web-Server is configured to use a gateway, i.e. if
communication with the FP Web-Server is set up via a gateway, you need
to take into account that the FP Web-Server does not use this gateway
during an active dial-up connection. This means that TCP port, FPWIN,
PCWAY or http communication through the gateway is temporarily
interrupted while an Internet e-mail is being sent.
