SYSTEM LOG
The System Log page allows you to set up a server to store event logs and to specify
how the access point obtains the date and time. When you are finished configuring
items on this page, click Apply.
Each logging message is tagged with a severity level, as defined in RFC3164. The
severity levels are:
n Emergency: system is unusable
n Alert: action must be taken immediately
n Critical: critical conditions
n Error: error conditions
n Warning: warning conditions
n Notice: normal but significant condition
n Informational: informational messages
n Debug: debug-level messages
To set up a server for event logs: Select System Log Setup Enable, select a logging
severity level from the pulldown list, enable the Logging Host and Logging Console,
and enter the IP address of the server in the space provided.
To designate an SNTP server for obtaining the date and time: Select SNTP Server
Enable and enter the IP addresses for primary and secondary SNTP servers in the
spaces provided.
To use the access point as an SNTP server: Select SNTP Server Disable, specify
time values in the spaces provided, select the time zone from the pull-down list. If you
check the Enable Daylight Saving check box, the time will adjust automatically for
standard and daylight saving time. When the SNTP Server setting is disabled, date and
time settings revert to the defaults after an access point is reset, affecting the accuracy
of log reports. To avoid this situation, enable the SNTP server setting and allow the
access point to obtain the date and time from an SNTP server. (The event log page will
display the default time after a reset until the access point receives the correct
information from the SNTP server.)
STATUS
The Status pages display additional information about the access point status and
station status.
n AP Status—Click AP Status to view the access point system configuration and
