11.2. Testing Syslog Configuration

After you have configured the AFS-16 as described in Section 11.1, the /TEST command can be used to make certain that the function is properly set up. To test the Syslog function, access the AFS-16 command mode via the Text Interface using an account that permits Administrator or SuperUser level commands, then type /TEST and press [Enter] to display the Test Menu shown in Figure 11.1.

When the Syslog Test feature is selected, the AFS-16 will attempt to send a test Syslog message, using the current Syslog configuration. If the test message is not received by your Syslog Daemon, review the procedure outlined in Section 11.1 to make certain the AFS-16 and the Syslog Daemon are properly configured.

In addition to providing a means to test the Syslog and SNMP Trap features, the Test Menu also includes a Ping command option, which can be used in a manner similar to the DOS ping command to check to make certain that the unit is communicating properly. Note that in order for the Ping command to function with domain names, you must first configure Domain Name Server parameters as described in Section 5.9.5.
