Disposition of Events

The event settings control how events are handled by the access point: counted, displayed in the log,

recorded, or announced in a notification. The settings are color coded: red for fatal errors, magenta for alerts, blue for warnings, and green for information. You select an option from each setting's pull-down menu. Each option includes and builds upon the previous option.

•Count—Tallies the total events occurring in this category without any form of notification or display.

•Display Console—Provides a read-only display of the event but does not record it.

•Record—Makes a record of the event in the log and provides a read-only display of the event.

•Notify—Makes a record of the event in the log, displays the event, and tells the access point to notify someone of the occurrence.

Handle Station Events as Severity Level

You use this setting to set a severity level for Station Alerts. Use the pull-down menu to choose one of the sixteen severity levels. Table 7-2 on page 7-20lists the severity levels in the menu. The *silent* option is not available for station events, however.

Maximum number of bytes stored per Alert packet

Enter the number of bytes the access point should store for each packet. If you want to see the entire contents of each packet, enter 1600; if you want to see only the packet header, enter 64.

Maximum memory reserved for Detailed Event Trace Buffer (bytes)

Enter the number of bytes reserved for the Detailed Event Trace Buffer. The Detailed Event Trace Buffer is a tool for tracing the contents of packets between specified stations on your network.

After you reserve space for the trace buffer, browse to a device’s Station page and select the Alert checkboxes in the To Station and From Station columns. See the “Browsing to Network Devices” section on page 9-2for instructions on opening a device’s Station page.
