DESCRIPTION
The ZyXEL Device sends logs to the e-mail address specified in this field. If this field
is left blank, the ZyXEL Device does not send logs via e-mail.
Alerts are real-time notifications that are sent as soon as an event, such as a DoS
attack, system error, or forbidden web access attempt occurs. Enter the E-mail
address where the alert messages will be sent. Alerts include system errors, attacks
and attempted access to blocked web sites. If this field is left blank, alert messages
will not be sent via E-mail.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the message-exchange standard for the
Internet. SMTP enables you to move messages from one e-mail server to another.
Select the check box to activate SMTP authentication. If mail server authentication is
needed but this feature is disabled, you will not receive the e-mail logs.
Enter the user name (up to 31 characters) (usually the user name of a mail account).
Enter the password associated with the user name above.
This drop-down menu is used to configure the frequency of log messages being sent
as E-mail. If you select Weekly or Daily, specify a time of day when the E-mail
should be sent. If you select Weekly, then also specify which day of the week the E-
mail should be sent. If you select When Log is Full, an alert is sent when the log fills
up. If you select None, no log messages are sent.
Use the drop down list box to select which day of the week to send the logs.
Enter the time of the day in 24-hour format (for example 23:00 equals 11:00 p.m.) to
send the logs.
Select the checkbox to delete all the logs after the ZyXEL Device sends an E-mail of
the logs.
The ZyXEL Device can send logs to an external syslog server.
Click Active to enable syslog logging.
Enter the server name or IP address of the syslog server that will log the selected
categories of logs.
Select the file the syslog server uses for the ZyXEL Device. The log facility allows
you to log the messages to different files in the syslog server. Refer to the syslog
server manual for more information.
Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the
log is full. Selecting many alert and/or log categories (especially Access Control)
may result in many e-mails being sent.
Select the categories of logs that you want to record.
Select log categories for which you want the ZyXEL Device to send e-mail alerts
immediately.
