Email From the AS400 to Any Wireless Device

NetWireless*400 provides the ability to send SMTP mail messages from the AS400 to any wireless device that supports SMTP messaging. NetWireless incorporates its own SMTP client software and does not require any SMTP or POP3 software support on the AS400. With NetWireless you can send email messages to any recipient that supports receiving SMTP mail messages. The types of devices include cellular and digital phones, pagers, and PCS terminals.

NetWireless provides Interactive, Command, and an Application Program Interface to send mail messages. This gives you complete flexibility in the way you send messages. You can provide your end users with the interactive interface to let them send messages from their terminals. If you want to incorporate email capability in your existing or new applications, you can use the mail APIs provided by NetWireless. You can use the NETWIRE command to send email from a command interface.

System Requirements

NetWireless runs on any RISC version of the AS400 from V3R7M0 or later. It does not require any other IBM software products to be installed. Since SMTP mail is based on the TCP/IP communications protocol, you must configure and start TCP/IP before you use NetWireless. However, you do not need to configure and start the SMTP or POP3 servers on the AS400.

To send email messages NetWireless connects with an SMTP mail server and initiates the SMTP mail send protocol. This means that your AS400 must have local or network access to an SMTP mail server application. This can be any SMTP mail server such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, Infinite Technologies Interchange, UNIX mail, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) mail application, NetMail*400’s SMTP Server or the IBM SMTP mail server on the AS400.
