e-mail.

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

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. If you

don't want logs sent, select None from the list in the Send Logs According To This Schedule

area. When you turn on e-mail notification and choose None in the Send Logs According to

this Schedule list, the alert is sent but not the log.

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.

Note

:

If your region uses Daylight Savings Time, you must manually select Adjust for

Daylight Savings Time on the first day of Daylight Savings Time, and unselect it at the

end. Enabling Daylight Savings Time will cause one hour to be added to the standard time.
