Your outgoing mail server

Enter the name of your ISP’s outgoing (SMTP) mail server (such as mail.myISP.com). You may be able to find this information in the configuration menu of your email program. If you leave this box blank, log and alert messages will not be sent via email.

Send to this email address

Enter the email address to which logs and alerts are sent. This email address will also be used as the From address. If you leave this box blank, log and alert messages will not be sent via email.

You can specify that logs are automatically sent by email with these options:

Send alert immediately

Select this checkbox for immediate notification of attempted access to a blocked site or service.

Send logs according to this schedule

Specifies how often to send the logs: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When 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 you select the Weekly, Daily or Hourly options and the log fills up before the specified period, the log is automatically emailed to the specified email address. After the log is sent, the log is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot email the log file, the log buffer may fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.

So that the log entries are properly time-stamped and sent at the correct time, be sure to set the time as described in the next section.

Setting the Time

The WNR834B 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 is used for the blocking schedule and for time- stamping log entries.
