System Commands. The following commands are used to configure the router:

„Save all: Press this button in order to permanently save the current configuration of the router. If you do restart the system without saving your configuration, the router will revert back to the previously saved configuration.

„Restart: Use this button to restart the system. If you have not saved your configurations, the router will revert to the previously saved configuration upon restarting. Connectivity to the unit will be lost. You can reconnect after the unit reboots.

„Restore Defaults: Use this button to restore factory default configuration. Connectivity to the unit will be lost. You can reconnect after the unit reboots.

Remote Log

The remote log feature forwards all logged information to a remote PC. The type of information forwarded to the remote PC depends upon the log level. Each log message is assigned a severity level, which indicates how seriously the triggering event affects router functions. When you configure logging, you must specify a severity level for each facility. Messages that belong to the facility and are rated at that level or higher are logged to the destination.

For PPPoE and PPPoA connections, select Debug if you want to log the connection information. This is helpful when trying to debug connection problems. Verify that the Debug box is checked on the PPPoA or PPPoE Connection Setup screen.

Table 3-2defines the different severity levels.

Table 3-2. Severity Levels (1 of 2)

Severity Level	Description
Panic	System panic or other condition that causes the router to stop
	functioning.
Alert	Conditions that require immediate correction, such as a corrupted
	system database.
Citical	Potentially critical conditions, such as hard drive errors.
Error	Error conditions that generally have less serious consequences
	than errors in the panic, alert, and critical levels.
Warning	Conditions that warrant monitoring.
Notice	Conditions that are not errors but might warrant special handling.
Info	Events or non-error conditions of interest.
