The mail settings are saved in the server configuration. The first email ID in the list should be the Administrator's
ID, so that when the first ID is added or deleted, the session is terminated and the Web server restarted.
SNMP Agent – Community Name Type the community name for the SNMP Agent.
System Logging Check the Logging Status box to activate and enable the host to receive log messages from other machines.
Select the type of logging, either Local or Remote.
Then type the IP address of the Remote Syslog Host to which all log messages from the RouteFinder will be
forwarded. Click Save. The IP address is a required parameter.
On the remote host, syslog should be invoked with the "-r" option to enable the host to receive log messages
from other machines. This is especially recommended if you want to collect the log files of several systems on
one host. The default setting is ’off’.
System Time Select the system time, time zone, and current date.
Note: It is not recommended that you change from summertime to wintertime and back. We suggest entering
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), regardless of your global position, especially if you plan to operate Virtual Private
Networks across different time zones. Changing the system time can lead to the following time-warp effects:
Forward time adjustment (winter to summertime)
• The time-out for the Web Admin has expired and your session is not valid anymore.
• Log information for some time periods may be missing in the time-based reports.
• Most diagrams show this time period as a straight line at the height of the old value.
• All the values for Accounting in this time period are 0.
Backward time adjustment (summer to wintertime) • The time-based reports already contain log information for the corresponding time period which, as far
as the system is concerned, comes from the future: this information is not overwritten, but is retained.
• The writing of the log files is continued from the point of time before the setback time is reached.
• Most diagrams show the values of this time period as compressed.
• The already-recorded data (from the future) retain their validity for the Accounting function.
• The accounting files are continued when the setback time is reached again. Therefore, it is
recommended that the time should only be set once during initial configuration and later should only
be slightly adjusted. No adjustments from wintertime to summertime should be made, especially if the
collected reporting and accounting information is to be further processed.
