relevant when the log is sent weekly or daily.
(2)time for sending log
relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly.
if the weekly, daily or hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. after the log is sent, the log is cleared from the router’s memory. if the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log buffer may fill up. in this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.
