5. If you want all messages to be assigned the facility 0, kernel
messages, to make them compatible with the AT-TQ2403 Access
Point, click the Enabled dialog circle for the TQ2403 Compatible
parameter. If you want the facility codes of the messages to be based
on the services of the management software, click the Disabled dialog
circle. This is the default setting.
You cannot view the facility codes of the event messages from the
event log. They can only be viewed on a syslog server.
6. Click the Update button to activate and save your changes on the
access point.
Configuring the
Syslog Client
This procedure explains how to configure the syslog client on the access
point to send the system and kernel event messages to a syslog server on
your network. The access point sends both system and kernel messages.
The messages are sent from the LAN port and radios.
To configure the syslog client, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Status menu, select Events.
The access point displays the “View events generated by this access
point” window. Refer to Figure 35 on page 116.
2. In the Options section of the window, use the Severity pull-down menu
to select the severity of system messages the access point is to
transmit to the syslog server.
The access point transmits the system messages of the selected level
and all numerically lower (higher severity) messages. For example, if
you select level 3, error, the device transmits system messages from
levels 0 to 3. The default is level 7, debug. This is the highest value, so
all messages are sent.
The severity level setting does not apply to kernel messages.
3. Use the TQ2403 Compatible parameter to control the facility levels the
access point assigns to the event messages. If you select Disabled,
the device assigns facility levels that are based on the services that
generated the messages in the management software. This is the
default setting. If you select Enabled, all messages are assigned the
facility level 0, kernel messages to make them compatible with the AT-
TQ2403 Access Point, which does not assign facility levels to its
messages.
The Facility levels of the messages can only be viewed on a syslog
server. They are not displayed in the event log of the access point.
