CHAPTER 5: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Logging Host – Enables the sending of log messages to a Syslog server host. Up to four Syslog servers are supported on the access point. (Default: Disable)
Server Name / IP – Specifies a Syslog server name or IP address. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
SNTP Server – Enables the sending of log messages to a Syslog server host. (Default: Disable)
Primary Server – The IP address the primary Syslog server. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
Secondary Server – The IP address the secondary Syslog server. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
Enter Time Zone – Sets the desired time zone + or - GMT.
Enable Daylight Saving – Adjusts the clock for summertime and wintertime.
The system allows you to limit the messages that are logged by specifying a minimum severity level. The following table lists the error message levels from the most severe (Emergency) to least severe (Debug). The message levels that are logged include the specified minimum level up to the Emergency level.
Table 2 Logging Levels
Error Level | Description |
Emergency | System unusable |
Alerts | Immediate action needed |
Critical | Critical conditions (e.g., memory allocation, or free memory error - resource |
| exhausted) |
Error | Error conditions (e.g., invalid input, default used) |
Warning | Warning conditions (e.g., return false, unexpected return) |

CONFIGURING SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the access point to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an accurate time on the access point enables the system log to record meaningful dates and times for event entries. If the clock is not set, the access point will only record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.
