3. Click Apply to save your settings.
Configuring and Activating System, E-mail, and Syslog Logs
You can configure the STM to log system events such as a change of time by an NTP server,
secure login attempts, restarts, and other events. You can also send logs to the administrator or
schedule logs to be sent to the administrator or to a syslog server on the network. In addition, the
Email and Syslog screen provides the option to selectively clear logs. Because this large screen has
three sections, each with its own Apply button, this screen is presented in this manual in three
figures (Figure 6-2 on page 6-4, Figure 6-3 on page 6-6, and Figure 6-4 on page 6-8).
E-mailing Logs
To enable and configure logs to be sent to an e-mail address:
1. Select Monitoring > Logs & Reports from the menu. The Logs & Reports submenu tabs
appear, with the Email and Syslog screen in view (see Figure 6-2 on page 6-4, Figure 6-4 on
page 6-8, and Figure 6-4 on page 6-8).
2. Locate the Email Logs to Administrator section on the screen.
SMTP server The IP address and port number or Internet name and port number of your
ISP’s outgoing e-mail SMTP server. The default port number is 25.
Note: If you leave this field blank, the STM cannot send e-mail notifications.
Mail Server Requires
Authentication
If the SMTP server requires authentication, select the Mail Server Requires
Authentication checkbox and enter the following settings:
User Name The user name for SMTP server authentication.
Password The password for SMTP server authentication.
