You can upgrade your Netopia 4541/4542 by adding new feature sets through the Upgrade Feature Set utility.

Logging

You can configure a UNIX-compatible syslog client to report a number of subsets of the events entered in the router’s WAN Event History. See “WAN Event History” on page 12-5.

The Syslog client (for the PC only) is available on the Netopia CD.

Select Logging from the System Configuration menu.

The Logging Configuration screen appears.
