Enter the e-mail address to which logs and alerts are sent. This e-mail address will also be used

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.

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:
