UNIX syslog parameters described in the following fields.

for more details.
Service Access
Control
Service Access Control allows you to decide what services you may use to access the
ES-3024. You may also change the default service port and configure “trusted
computer(s)” for each service in the Remote Management screen (see later in this
guide).
Services Services you may use to access the ES-3024 are listed here.
Enable Select the Enable check boxes for the corresponding services that you want to allow to
access the ES-3024.
Server Port For Telnet, FTP or web services, you may change the default service port by typing the
new port number in the Server Port field. If you change the default port number then
you will have to let people (who wish to use the service) know the new port number for
that service.
Time and Date
Setting
Time and Date Setting allows you to set the time manually or get the current time and
date from an external server when you turn on your switch. The real time is then
displayed in the switch logs.
Use Time Server
When Bootup
Enter the time service protocol that your timeserver sends when you turn on the switch.
Not all timeservers support all protocols, so you may have to use trial and error to find a
protocol that works. The main differences between them are the time format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of seconds
since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None is the default value. Enter the time manually. Each time you turn on the switch, the
time and date will be reset to 2000-1-1 0:0.
Time Server IP
Address
Enter the IP address (or URL if you configure a domain name server in the IP Setup
screen) of your timeserver. The switch searches for the timeserver for up to 60 seconds.
If you select a timeserver that is unreachable, then this screen will appear locked for 60
seconds. Please wait.
Current Time This field displays the time you open this menu (or refresh the menu).
New Time
(hh:min:ss)
Enter the new time in hour, minute and second format. The new time then appears in the
Current Time field after you click Apply.
Current Date This field displays the date you open this menu.
New Date (yyyy-
mm-dd)
Enter the new date in year, month and day format. The new date then appears in the
Current Date field after you click Apply.
