6.2 Event Handling
Event handling is the application that allows administrator to setup the pre-defined events, handlers,
or response behavior with individual profiles. With properly configuring the event handling function,
administrator can easily and remotely obtain the status and information via the purchased router.
The supported events are categorized into two groups: the managing events and notifying events.
The managing events are the events that are used to manage the router or change the setting / status
of the specific functionality of the router. On receiving the managing event, the router will take action to
change the functionality, and collect the required status for administration simultaneously.
The notifying events are the events that some related objects have been triggered and take
corresponding actions on the occurrence of the events. It could be an event for alerting the administrator
something happened with SMS message, Email, and SNMP Trap, etc...
For ease of configuration, administrator can create and edit the common pre-defined managing /
notifying event profiles for taking instant reaction on a certain event or managing the devices for some
advanced useful purposes. For example, sending/receiving remote managing SMS for the router’s routine
maintaining, and so on. All of such management and notification function can be realized effectively via the
Event Handling feature.
The following is the summary lists for the provided profiles, and events:
Profiles (Rules):
o SMS Configuration and Accounts
o Email Accounts
Managing Events:
o Trigger Type: SMS, SNMP Trap
o Actions: Get the Network Status; or Configure the LAN/VLAN behavior, WIFI behavior, NAT
behavior, Firewall behavior, VPN behavior, System Management, Administration.
Notifying Events:
o Trigger Type: Connection Change (WAN, LAN & VLAN, WiFi, DDNS), Administration, and Data
Usage.
o Actions: Notify the administrator with SMS, Syslog, SNMP Trap or Email Alert.
To use the event handling function, First of all, you have to enable the event management setting and
configure the event details with the provided profile settings. You can create or edit pre-defined profiles
for individual managing / notifying events. The profile settings are separated into several items; they are
the SMS Account Definition, and Email Service Definition. Then, you have to configure each managing
/ notifying event with identifying the event’s trigger condition, and the corresponding actions (reaction for
the event) for the event. For each event, more than one action can be activated simultaneously.
