Section 4 IP Access Configuration & Operation

Event Log

Important events like a login failure or a firmware update are logged to a selection of logging destinations. Each of those events belongs to an event group, which can be activated separately.

In the Event Log Settings you can choose how many log entries are shown on each page. Furthermore, you can clear the log file here.

List logging enabled

The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the P16-IP. To show the log list, click on Event Log on the Maintenance page.

Since the P16-IP’s system memory is used to save all the information, the maximum number of possible log list entries is restricted to 1000 events. Every entry that exceeds this limit overrides the oldest one.

Note: If the reset button on the HTML front end is used to restart the P16-IP all logging information is saved permanently and is available after the P16-IP has been started. If the P16-IP loses power or a hard reset is performed, all logging data will be lost. To avoid this, use one of the log methods described below.

NFS Logging enabled

Defines an NFS server to write all logging data to a file that is located there. To write logging data from multiple P16-IP units to only one NFS share, you have to define a file name that is unique for each device. When you change the NFS settings and press Apply, the NFS share will be mounted immediately. That means, the NFS share and the NFS server must be filled with valid sources or you will get an error.
