Wizard step 6: Helper server settings

Optional NTP and Syslog servers can be enabled here in the wizard or configured later.

Network

Time Protocol

servers keep the system date and time accurate. Syslog servers can be used to

receive and store log messages sent by CorePlus.

For the default gateway, it is recommended to specify the IP address assigned to the internal
network interface. In this setup, this corresponds to

192.168.1.1

. The DNS server specified should

be the DNS supplied by your ISP.

When specifying a hostname as a server instead of an IP address, the hostname should be
prefixed with the string

dns:

. For example, the hostname

host1.company.com

should be entered

as

dns:host1.company.com

.

Wizard step 7: Activate setup

The final step is to activate the setup by pressing the

Activate

button. After this step the Web

Interface returns to its normal appearance and the administrator can continue to configure the
system.
