Tip: If you cannot remember this information, check the settings in your email program.

3.Specify when you want the alerts and logs to be sent:

•Send alert immediately. Select the corresponding check box if you would like immediate notification of a significant security event, such as a known attack, port scan, or attempted access to a blocked site.

•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.

-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, it is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log buffer might fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.

4.Click Apply so that your changes take effect.

Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the Router

The router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the Diagnostics screen to perform the following functions from the router:

•Ping an IP address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. If Ping VPN is enabled, the ping packet always goes through the VPN if the VPN tunnel is enabled and working.

•Perform a DNS lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the DNS server configuration is working.
