EmailRelay works the first time but not again


bond Jun 11, 2021 06:52 PM

Hello,

I am having a weird issue with EmailRelay. I have a CR300 running OS CR300.Std.10.04 connected to an Airlink RV50 through the RS232 port. My goal is to have data recorded every 15 minutes, then sent to me once per day. If one fo the recorded values is outside of pre-defined thresholds, then i get an alert email once and hour. To save battery the RV50 is triggerred on the VX1 port, waking up before each data transmission attempt.

For testing i have asked the CR300 to transmit the data every 10 minutes.

So when the program runs, or the CR300 is reset (program set to run on boot), the EmailRelay works as intended and i get an email with the file attached. The issue is that the next loop, and every loop after that the program will close without sending. If i restart the logger then it happens again, first time through it works but not again after that.

Watching the PPP Network status during operation, when it fails, the IP state is opened, an IP address/gw/dns is updated, then a "user interrupt occurs and the program closes.

The bare Do..Loop in the second SlowSequence is an interesting approach. I would have placed the If..EndIf block in the scan that defines alert frequency or wrote it as a Subroutine instead.
