Entering an Email Address for System Alerts
AsyncOS sends alert messages through email if there is a system error that requires your intervention. 
Enter the email address (or addresses) where the alerts are sent.
You need to add at least one email address for the system alerts. Separate multiple addresses with 
commas. The email addresses that you enter initially receive all types of alerts at all levels. You can 
customize the alert configuration later. For more information, see th
Setting the Time
Set the time zone on the Security Management appliance so that timestamps in reports, message headers 
and log files are correct. Use the drop-down menus to locate your time zone or to define the time zone 
by GMT offset. 
You can set the system clock time manually, but Cisco recommends using an Network Time Protocol 
(NTP) server to synchronize time with other servers on your network or the Internet. By default, the 
Cisco NTP server (time.sco.cisco.com) is added as an entry to synchronize the time on your content 
security appliance. Enter the hostname of the NTP server, and click Add Entry to configure an 
additional NTP server. For more information, see the 
Setting the Password
You must change the password for the AsyncOS admin account. Keep the password in a secure location. 
Changes to the password take effect immediately. 
Note
If you cancel the system setup after resetting the password, your password changes are not undone.
