Actions that are not allowed for the selected event (like mail notification if the PPP link is down or the mail server has been configured improperly) 
are hidden. For multiple events editing, actions that are not appropriate for least one of the selected events will also be hidden. 

 

In case of an IDS (Intrusion Detection System) intrusion alert, only the first possible intrusion in each 10 minute period will initiate an 

event. This helps to avoid flooding the System Events table, and flooding the user with various intrusion alerts that result from each possible Denial 
of Service attack. When these events are displayed in the System Events table, the user can receive detailed information about the intrusions 
through a link to the IDS log list. 

If Bizfon cannot receive an IP address from the DHCP or PPP servers, or cannot register an extension on the SIP or Routing servers, or cannot 
reach an NTP server, it raises only one event for the entire period the action has failed, but will continue to try. When the required action is 
successful Bizfon raises an appropriate message. 

 

Select the checkbox of one or more events to assign an action to them. 

 Press 

the 

Edit button. The Edit Event Settings page appears.  

 

Select an action type from the Action radio buttons to notify the administrator about the event.  

 Press 

the 

Save button to submit the changes or use Back to abort the selected action. 

 

 

The  Time and Date Settings page provides information about the current system time and date. The settings may be updated through the 
international time and date servers. 

Time is used to set the local time (hour, minute). 

Date is used to set the date (month, day, year). 

Timezone provides a selection of world time zones and is used 
to select the local country time zone. Timezones are specified 
by GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and by specific timezones for 
the United States and Canada. 

Enable Simple Network Time Protocol Server enables the 
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server on Bizfon, thus 
Bizfon becomes the timeserver for its LAN. 

Enable Simple Network Time Protocol Client enables the 
SNTP client on the Bizfon, thus Bizfon becomes a client to an 
external timeserver. A checkbox disables Date and Time drop 
down lists and enables the following parameters:

 

The SNTP Servers table lists all defined NTP Servers.  

The  Add functional button opens an Add NTP Server page 
where a new NTP server can be defined. This page offers the 
NTP Server radio buttons that are used to choose between a 
manual and a predefined NTP server. 

Manual requires the NTP server’s FQDN (Full Qualified 
Domain Name) or its IP address. 

Predefined is used to select the NTP server’s host 
address from the drop down list, where the most common 
NTP servers are listed. 

The  Move Up and Move Down functional buttons are used to 
sort NTP servers in the order they need to be accessed. If the 
NTP server in the first position of the SNTP Servers table does 
not answer, NTP server in the next position will try to be 
reached. 

 You can add another NTP server to the list if the 

defined NTP servers are not functional (for example, Bizfon's 
date/time is not being updated automatically). 

Polling Interval indicates the time interval for the periodical 
synchronization between the timeserver and Bizfon. It counts in 
hours.

 Time and Date Settings will be reset if Bizfon has lost power. 

 

The System Mail Settings page allows you to send warnings automatically about the board status or problems to the administrator.

 

System events 

that require email notification are selected on the 

 page. System mail must be enabled and the SMTP server needs to be configured for voice 

message transmission to the extension user’s mailing account.
