the NFS share will be mounted immediately. That means, the NFS share and the NFS
server must be filled with valid sources or you will get an error message.

SMTP Logging enabled

With this option, the PS/2 IP-KVM switch is able to send Emails to an address given by
the Email address text field in the Event Log Settings. These mails contain the same
description strings as the internal log file and the mail subject is filled with the event group
of the occurred log event. In order to use this log destination you have to specify a SMTP
server, that has to be reachable from the PS/2 IP-KVM switch device and that needs no
authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).

SNMP Logging enabled

If this is activated, the PS/2 IP-KVM switch sends a SNMP trap to a specified destination
IP address, every time a log event occurs. If the receiver requires a community string,
you can set it in the appropriate text field. Most of the event traps only contain one
descriptive string with all information about the log event. Only authentication and host
power events have an own trap class that consists of several fields with detailed
information about the occurred event. To receive this SNMP traps, any SNMP trap
listener may be used.

Warning

In contrast to the internal log file on the PS/2 IP-KVM switch, the size of the NFS log
file is not limited. Every log event will be appended to the end of the file so it grows
continuously and you may have to delete it or move it away from time to time.
