Send data through email automatically via GPRS
  1. Can DT80+modem be configured to send data by emails automatically every 10 minutes by GPRS ?
  2. If (1) is possible, is the software configuration done mainly in DT80 or the modem? Is the configuration very difficult?
  3. I understand SMSX can only send data by SMS. Please recommend a suitable modem to send emails.
  4. If (1) has been done before: I have used another type of datalogger+modem pre-configured to send data by emails in interval automatically by GPRS, and found there is a problem in which the datalogger cannot log while transmitting the data by GPRS.

This is due resource intensive operation of sending data by emails (packing the data into email form, establish and maintain connection to SMTP, sends the data, and require a validation from the SMTP etc), and the datalogger's limited processor power cannot handle both logging and transmission at the same time.

Will the same problem occur with DT80?

Good morning Orange,

  1. Current version of DT80 doesn't have email capability, I know that email capability is on the wish list but as of 7.04 firmware the answer is no.
    So email could only be done if the modem has the capability to build the email.

  2. If you can find a modem that has email capability then you will need to consult the manufacturer for how to configure the system.

  3. I don't know of a modem that has email capability. may be some one else has some leads.

  4. DT80 does log data while the FTP takes place. The logging speed may slow down a bit but the FTP operations are a back ground process.
    Please check the firmware version of your DT80.

Cheers,
Roger
