•

Your Outgoing Mail Server

—Enter the name of your outgoing (SMTP) mail server (such as

mail.myISP.com). You may be able to find this information in the configuration menu of your

e-mail program. If you leave this box blank, log and alert messages will not be sent via e-mail.

•

Send To This E-mail Address

—Enter the e-mail address to which logs and alerts are sent.

This e-mail address will also be used as the From address. If you leave this box blank, log and

alert messages will not be sent via e-mail.

•

Authentication

—Leave the “Authenticate with SMTP Server” box unchecked if you use an

outgoing mail server provided by your current ISP. If you use an e-mail account that is not

provided by your ISP, check this box and enter the required user name and password

information.

You can specify that logs are automatically sent to the specified e-mail address with these options:

•

Send Alert Immediately—

Check this box if you would like immediate notification of

attempted access to a blocked site.

•

Send Logs According To This Schedule—

Use this option to specify how often to send the

logs: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When Full.

–

Day. Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent

weekly or daily.

–

Time. 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,

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

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

The 54Mpbs Wireless Router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time

and date from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. In order to localize the time

for your log entries, you must specify your Time Zone:

•

Time Zone

—Select your local time zone. This setting will be used for the blocking schedule

and for time-stamping log entries.

•

Daylight Savings Time

—Check this box if your time zone is currently under daylight savings

time.
