Logs
The Logs record various types of activity on the Broadband ADSL Router. This data is useful
for troubleshooting, but enabling all logs will generate a large amount of data and adversely
affect performance.
Since only a limited amount of log data can be stored in the Broadband ADSL Router, log data
can also be E-mailed to your PC. Use the E-mail screen to configure this feature.

Logs
Include (Checkboxes)
Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in
the log. Checking all options will increase the size of the log, so it
is good practice to disable any events which are not really re-
quired.
• Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, attempted
Internet accesses which were blocked are logged.
• Connections to the Web-based interface of this Router - If
checked, this will log connections TO this Router, rather than
through this Router to the Internet.
• Router operation - If checked, other Router operations (not
covered by the selections above) will be logged.
• Known DoS attacks and Port Scans - If checked, Denial of
Service attacks, as well as port scans, will be logged.
Syslog
Disable
Data is not sent to a Syslog Server.
Broadcast on LAN
The Syslog data is broadcast, rather than sent to a specific Syslog
server. Use this if your Syslog Server does not have a fixed IP
address.
Send to this Syslog
Server
If your Syslog server has a fixed IP address, select this option,
and enter the IP address of your Syslog server.
