– Day for sending log
Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent weekly or
daily.
– 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,
the log is cleared from the firewall’s memory. If the firewall cannot e-mail the log file, the log
buffer may fill up. In this case, the firewall overwrites the log and discards its contents.
The FVS318 VPN Firewall uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and
date from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. In order to localize the time for
your log entries, you must specify your Time Zone:
•TimeZone
Select your local time zone. This setting will be used for the blocking schedule and for
time-stamping log entries.
