Installing the Syslog client
The Goodies folder on the Netopia CD contains a Syslog client daemon program that can be configured to report the WAN events you specified in the Logging Configuration screen.
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.
