E-mail Help
Your Router can periodically email you the system log. (On the
Logs
screen, you can choose what
events are to be included in the log.) The Router can also send an immediate alert when it detects a
significant security incident such as
•
A known hacker attack is directed at your IP address
•
A computer on the Internet scans your IP address for open ports
•
Someone on your LAN (Local Area Network) tries to visit a blocked site.
If you'd like to have alerts and logs sent to you by e-mail, fill out the settings on this form.
You can always check the logs manually by viewing the
Logs
page. If you don't want to receive e-
mails, simply leave the
Turn e-mail notification on
checkbox unchecked.
Send alerts and logs by e-mail
To receive alerts and logs by e-mail:
1. Select the
Turn E-mail Notification On
check box above.
2. In the
Send To This E-mail Address
box, type the e-mail address where the alerts and logs
will be sent. Use a full e-mail address (for example, [email protected]).
3. In the
Outgoing Mail Server
box, type the name or IP address of the outgoing SMTP mail
server of your ISP (for example, mail.myISP.com).
If you leave this box blank, no alerts or logs will be sent to you.
4. Check
My Mail Server requires authentication
if you need to "login" to your SMTP
Server in order to send E-mail. If this is checked, you must enter the user name and
password for the Mail Server.
Tip:
You used this information when you set up your e-mail program. If you can't remember
it, check the settings in your e-mail program.
