The license number limits the number of concurrent users and a
future expiration date.
For Series 1000 products, the license number has already been
entered. It usually allows 20 concurrent users for a period of 1
year. Upon expiration, you must obtain a new license number for
free by re-registration.
For Series 2000 products, you will receive a temparary license
upon download. This make it easy for evaluation. After
purchasing, you will receive a owner's license.
The server creates a log file that contains information about the server activities, such as errors. This server log is written to the file with a naming convention log/######.log. The ###### is a timestamp so every log file has a different name. Later log files have a higher timestamp than earlier ones. You can specify how often a new log file is created. The default timestamp is 1440 minutes (24 hours), which specifies that new log file is created every 24 hours.
If this value is 0 (zero), no new log file will be created.
If this value is negative, no log file will be created.
The server has a built in alarm agent which constantly checks
for alerts. This feature allows you to perform time-based
changes. For example, in Defect Tracker, it is used for
time-based escalation.
The frequency of this checking can be specified here in minutes.
Enter the number of minutes the system times out sessions if left idle. The default timeout is 60 minutes.
Enter the number of minutes the system will check the session for timeout. The default check is every 5 minutes.

Proxy setting is not required if this server has direct access to internet. If this server requires a proxy server to access the internet, you need to enter the proxy server address and port number here.
New Fire Server uses HTTP request to contact newfire.com for evaluation license and server updates.

The default ports are 25 (standard), 465(secured), or 587(alternative). Your SMTP server may use other ports.
Check this if the SMTP server supports STARTTLS or SSL for secured authentication and data transmission. Typically, you use port 25 or 587 for STARTTLS and 465 for SSL.
If the SMTP server uses a self signed certificate, you can run into this error: PKIX path building failed.
