can also be configured to support the remote syslog protocol on a per serial port basis.
•Select the Syslog Facility/Priority fields to enable logging of traffic on the selected serial port to a syslog server; and to appropriately sort and action those logged messages (i.e. redirect them/ send alert email etc.)
For example if the computer attached to serial port 3 should never send anything out on its serial console port, the Administrator can set the Facil- ity for that port to local0 (local0 .. local7 are meant for site local values), and the Priority to critical. At this priority, if the ECS0016 syslog server does receive a message, it will automatically raise an alert.
Add / Edit Users
The Administrator uses this menu selection to set up, edit and delete Us- ers and to define the access permissions for each of these Users.
Users can be authorized to access specified ECS0016 serial ports and specified network attached hosts. These Users can also be given full Administrator status (with full configuration and management and access privileges).
To simplify User set up, individual users can be configured as members of Groups. There are two Groups set up by default:
admin which provides User members with full Administrator privileges and
users which provides User members with access to the Management section of the Management Console
