Amit Logging Setup

Amit provides the firewall software for the following consumer firewalls:

• D-link DI-704
• SMC Barricade
• Asante (model ??)
• Others??

Unfortunately, Amit-based firewalls have no built-in remote logging capabilties, rather they only provide a web-based (HTTP) log.

Additionally, even though the D-link DI-704 (firmware v 2.52b6) is Amit-based, the HTTP logging doesn't work at all.

To overcome these problems you need to:

• D-link only: Replace your firmware with a generic Amit version
  WARNING: Proceed at your own risk!
• Install Routerlog to provide remote logging capabilities

Step 1: (D-link DI-704 only)

• Backup your current router firmware
• Download the Amit firmware for your router
• Log into the DI-704 via the HTTP interface
• Tell it to disconnect your Internet connection
• Log out of the DI-704
• Double-click on the firmware file (You may have to do this twice to get the upgrade to start)
• Power cycle the DI-704
• Log into the DI-704 via the HTTP interface and make sure your configuration hasn't changed
  *note: Due to the new firmware, the screens now have a different appearance.

Step 2: Install RouterLog v1.3a

• Download RouterLog v1.13a
• Unzip Routerlog and execute it
• Enter in the correct address for your router (default is 192.168.0.1)
• Enter your router password (default is: admin)
• Enable: "Log intrusion only"
• Enable: "Remember last date/time"
• Enable: "Include GMT in logfile"
• Set: Date Format to: Windows Format
• Click "Open log file" to create a new log file (default is: router.log)
  in the directory where you unziped RouterLog

Step 3: Proceed with myNetWatchman Installation
