In order for the installation site’s DSX system to send email notifications, it must have a valid SMTP email account assigned. To save time during programming, use the following table to help collect the system’s email account information. The email account provider can supply this information.

| SMTP Email Account | The email account that will handle notifications sent from the DSX system (e.g., yourname@emailserver.com) | |
