Edit Event Settings Help

The Edit Event Settings page serves to assign an action to the event selected on the Event Settings page and displayed here with its Application, Name and Description. If more than one event has been selected, the specifying information is replaced by the term Multiple. To associate an action, select the desired Action radio button:

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.

Attention: 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 QX200 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 QX200 raises an appropriate message.
