| Enable Logs |
| Incoming Traffic |
Select the desired option:
- All IP traffic - this will log all incoming TCP/IP connections, of any type. This will generate the largest logs, and fill the internal log buffer more quickly.
- All TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic - These 3 protocols are used by most internet traffic. TCP is used by HTTP, FTP, Telnet, E-mail and other common Internet protocols and applications. UDP is used by Video streams and other communications where speed is more important than guaranteed delivery. ICMP is used by the "ping" and "traceroute" applications, and other network diagnostics.

| Outgoing Traffic |
Select the desired option:
- All IP traffic - - this will log all outgoing TCP/IP connections, of any type. This will generate the largest logs, and fill the internal log buffer more quickly.
- All TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic - These 3 protocols are used by most internet traffic. TCP is used by HTTP, FTP, Telnet, E-mail and other common Internet protocols and applications. UDP is used by Video streams and other communications where speed is more important than guaranteed delivery. ICMP is used by the "ping" and "traceroute" applications, and other network diagnostics.
Because most connections are logged, the logs will still be large.
- Selected Traffic only - This selection will reduce the size of the log considerably. Only HTTP connections are logged. Select the traffic you wish to include:
- Attempted access to blocked sites - This will only log Web connections which are blocked by the URL filter.
- Websites and news groups - This logs successful (allowed) connections to Web Sites and newsgroup servers.

| System Log |
Select the desired option:
- Router operations (start up, get time etc) - This option will log normal Router operations
- Connections to the Web-based interface of this Router - This option will log each connection to the Router itself, whenever the Web-based management interface is used.
- Other connections and traffic to this Router - This option will log other traffic sent to the Router itself, such as "pings" or RIP (Router Information Protocol) packets.
- Known DoS attacks and Port Scans - This will log details of DoS (Denial of Service) attacks which have been blocked by the built-in Firewall. This Firewall uses "Stateful Inspection" technology to block packets which are individually valid, but collectively form an attack. Port scans, where a series of ports are checked to see if they are open (available) are also logged.

| VPN |
If enabled, the log will record details of VPN (Virtual Private Networks) connections. |
