To receive alerts and logs by e-mail:

1. Select the Turn E-mail Notification On check box.

2. Fill in the fields to send alerts and logs through email.

• Your Outgoing Mail Server. Enter the name or IP address of the outgoing SMTP

mail server of your ISP (such as mail.myISP.com).

• Send to This E-mail Address. Enter the e-mail address where you want to send the

alerts and logs. Use a full e-mail address, such as ChrisXY@myISP.com.

• My mail server requires authentication. Select this check box if you need to log in

to your SMTP server to send E-mail. If you select this feature, you must enter the user

name and password for the mail server.

Tip: If you cannot remember this information, check the settings in your email

program.

3. Specify when you want the alerts and logs to be sent:

• Send alert immediately. Select the corresponding check box if you would like

immediate notification of a significant security event, such as a known attack, port

scan, or attempted access to a blocked site.

• Send logs according to this schedule. Specifies how often to send the logs: Hourly,

Daily, Weekly, or When Full.

- Day for sending log. Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when

the log is sent weekly.

- Time for sending log. Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the

log is sent daily or weekly.

If the Weekly, Daily, or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified

period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is

sent, it is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log

buffer might fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.

4. Click Apply so that your changes take effect.

Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the

Router

The router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the Diagnostics screen to perform the

following functions from the router:

• Ping an IP address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. If Ping VPN

is enabled, the ping packet always goes through the VPN if the VPN tunnel is enabled

and working.

• Perform a DNS lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that

the DNS server configuration is working.
