LAN Clients Help
Your Modem will log security-related events such as denied incoming service requests, hacker probes, and administrator logins, according to your settings on this screen.
If you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites page, you can also log when someone on your network tried to access a blocked site.
If you have e-mail notification on, you'll receive these logs in an e-mail message. If you don't have e-mail notification set up, you can view the logs here.

Include in Log
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 required.
- Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, attempted Internet accesses which were blocked are logged.
- Connections to the Web-based interface of this Modem - If checked, this will log connections TO this Modem, rather than through this Modem to the Internet.
- Modem operation - If checked, other Modem 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
Enable one of these three options, as required:
- Disable - Select this if you don't have a Syslog server.
- Broadcast on LAN - the Syslog data is broadcast, rather than sent to a specific Syslog server. Use this if you Syslog Server does not have a fixed IP address.
- Send to this Syslog server IP address - If your Syslog server has a fixed IP address, select this option, and enter the IP address of your Syslog server.
