DESCRIPTION
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.
Enter the time of the day in 24-hour format (for example 23:00 equals 11:00 pm)
to send the logs.
Select the checkbox to delete all the logs after the NBG334W sends an E-mail
of the logs.
The NBG334W sends a log 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 a location from the drop down list box. 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.
Select the categories of logs that you want to record.
Select log categories for which you want the NBG334W to send E-mail alerts
immediately.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
