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.

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:
•
Time Zone.
Select your local time zone. This setting is used for the blocking schedule and for time-
stamping log entries.
