Telnet Server This option activates Telnet access to the
device.

Services

The Services section configures system management
services: SNMP Agent, System Log, Dynamic DNS, and NTP
Client.
SNMP Agent
Simple Network Monitor Protocol (SNMP) is an
application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange
of management information between network
devices. Network administrators use SNMP to monitor
network-attached devices for issues that warrant
attention.
The device contains an SNMP agent, which does the
following:
• Provides an interface for device monitoring using SNMP
• Communicates with SNMP management applications
for network provisioning
• Allows network administrators to monitor network
performance and troubleshoot network problems
For the purpose of equipment identification, configure the
SNMP agent with contact and location information:
SNMP Agent Enables the SNMP agent.
• SNMP Community Specify the SNMP community
string. It is required to authenticate access to
Management Information Base (MIB) objects and
functions as an embedded password. The device
supports a read-only community string; authorized
management stations have read access to all the objects
in the MIB except the community strings, but do not
have write access. The device supports SNMP v1. The
default SNMP Community is public.
• Contact Specify the contact who should be notified in
case of emergency.
• Location Specify the physical location of the device.

Dynamic DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names
to IP addresses; Each DNS server on the Internet holds
these mappings in its respective DNS database. Dynamic
Domain Name System (DDNS) is a network service that
notifies the DNS server in real time of any changes in the
device's IP settings. Even if the device's IP address changes,
you can still access the device through its domain name.
Dynamic DNS If enabled, the device allows
communications with the DDNS server.
Host Name
• Enter the host name of the DDNS server.
• Username Enter the username of the DDNS account.
• Password Enter the password of the DDNS account.
• Show Check the box to display the password
characters.
System Log
If you enable the System Log, the messages display on the
Alerts tab; see "System Log" on page 29.
System Log This option enables the registration routine
of system log (syslog) messages. By default it is disabled.
• Remote Log Enables the syslog remote sending
function. System log messages are sent to a remote
server, which is specified in the following fields:
- Remote Log IP Address
receives syslog messages. Properly configure the
remote host to receive syslog protocol messages.
Remote Log Port
- The TCP/IP port that receives syslog
messages. 514 is the default port for the commonly
used system message logging utilities.
Every logged message contains at least a system time and
host name. Usually a specific service name that generates
the system event is also specified within the message.
Messages from different services have different contexts
and different levels of detail. Usually error, warning, or
informational system service messages are reported;
however, more detailed debug level messages can also
be reported. The more detailed the system messages
reported, the greater the volume of log messages
generated.
