DESCRIPTION
Enter the server name or the IP address of the mail server for the e-mail
addresses specified below. If this field is left blank, logs and alert
messages will not be sent via E-mail.
Type a title that you want to be in the subject line of the log e-mail
message that the ZyXEL Device sends. Not all ZyXEL Device models have
this field.
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:
• Daily
• Weekly
• Hourly
• When Log is Full
• None.
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 pm) to send the logs.
Select this to delete all the logs after the ZyXEL Device sends an E-mail
of the logs.
The ZyXEL Device sends a log to an external syslog server.
Click Active to enable syslog logging.
