Send to this e-mail address
Enter the e-mail address to which logs and alerts will be 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.
You can specify that logs are to be automatically sent to the specified e-mail address with these
options:
Send alert immediately
Select this check box if you would like immediate notification of attempted access to a
blocked site.
Send logs according to this schedule
Specifies how often to send the logs: None, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When Log is Full.
Day for sending log. Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the
log is sent weekly or daily.
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,
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 do
not want logs sent, select None from the list in the Send Logs According To This Schedule
section. Alerts will be sent, but not the logs.
The WGT634U Wireless Media Router can use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the
current time and date from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. Select whether to
enable NTP.
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 clear this check box at the end.
Enabling Daylight Savings Time will cause one hour to be added to the standard time.
