ZyXEL NWA-1100 User’s Guide

An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. Some categories such as System 
Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You can differentiate them by their color in the View 
Log screen. Alerts are displayed in red and logs are displayed in black.

If you want to receive logs in your e-mail account, you need to have the necessary details 
ready, such as the Server Name or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Address of your e-
mail account. Ensure that you have a valid e-mail address.

To enable Syslog Logging, obtain your Syslog server’s IP address (or server name).
