Hello I am not sure this is the correct section of the forum for this question as I am not sure this is a WinCC flex or a Scalance issue. I have an MP370 protected, along with a S7-300 PLC, by a S612 security switch. My existing configuration workes well. I have a VPN for remote internet based access and firewall rules set so I can connect locally from the unprotected side to the protected side. I am using the sm@rtservice option on the MP to allow complete acess. All of this works well. I now want to try and enable emailing from the MP370 when alarms are set. I have read all the posts regarding this and the manuals and believe I have set it up right. Attached is a screengrag of both the WinCCflex screen and the control panel internet settings of the MP370. My question is if it is even possible to send an email through the S612 switch? When I test the function, I get a failure notification in the alarm view that the email did not send. The failure notice in the alarm view does not stay displayed. I have to restart the runtime environment to get the email failure to show. setting and resetting the alarm does not always produce the email failure notice. thanks for any advice John |

Hi John, you have to use an SMTP-Server for sending eMails. Please refer to chapter 4.2 of this manual: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/18657078 |

Hello I did look at that manual and am pretty sure I followed the directions. I have WinCCFlex 2007. I wonder if the Scalance router will allow internet access. The HMI is obviously on the green protected side and my office LAN, with internet, is on the Red side. I created the "pinhole" with the scalance configuration utility to allow all 255 IP addresses on the green side access to all 255 IP addresses of the office LAN. My office router/gateway is 192.168.1.1. The MP370 is configured to use the scalance as a router to allow Sm@rtService to run. Maybe that is the problem? the Green side IP address of the scalance is 192.168.0.1. sound reasonable? thanks John |
