To install the Syslog client daemon, exit from the graphical Netopia CD program and locate the CD directory structure through your Windows desktop or through Windows Explorer. Go to the Goodies directory on the CD and locate the Sds15000.exe program. This is the Syslog daemon installer. Run the Sds15000.exe program and follow the on-screen instructions for enabling the Windows Syslog daemon.
