Day for Diagnostics

Use the drop down list box to select which day of the week to generate and

 

send diagnostic files.

 

 

Time for Diagnostics

Enter the time of day in 24-hour format (for example 23:00 equals 11:00 pm)

 

to generate and send diagnostic files.

 

 

Display on Console

Select this option to have the ZyWALL send diagnostic information through

 

the console port. To receive the information through the console port, you

 

still need to configure the mail settings and open a terminal emulation

 

program on the computer connected to the console port.

 

To handle the size of the diagnostic file, change your console port speed to

 

115200 bps (on both the ZyWALL and your terminal emulation program) and

 

enlarge the console text buffer.
