1.1.11 Monitoring and Notifications

Use the Status Monitor to give real time messages (of who has logged in for example) and the
alarm screens to know what is going on in your management domain. Alarms are warnings of
hardware failure, security breaches, attacks or illegal Vantage login attempts. You can
configure Vantage to notify you by e-mail in the event a device goes down or has triggered an
alarm. You can also configure Vantage to automatically notify device owners and other
administrators when a configuration (such as firmware upgrade) is going to take place.

1.1.12 Logs

Logs detail information pertaining to customer accounts, devices and Vantage that is essential
for troubleshooting or historical analysis. Logs and alarms facilitate the secure, smooth
operation of all Vantage-registered ZyXEL devices across the globe.

1.1.13 Data Maintenance

Back up all Vantage configurations including firmware uploaded to the Vantage server,
creating various Vantage "snap shots" that may be restored at a later date.

1.1.14 Vantage System Management

Configure Vantage server public IP address, FTP, syslog, mail servers, set a management idle
time-out and protect Vantage from brute-force password dictionary attacks in the Vantage
system menus. Furthermore, you may pre-configure notification recipients and alter
Administrator privileges from here, making Vantage a truly global tool.

1.2 Vantage Requirements and Installation
