System Logging
System logging is a two part process.
First, the device being used to record the system logs must be configured.
Secondly, system logging must be configured for the system under System status and log.
System logs can be saved to the SERIMUX system memory (there is no need to configure the memory), a compact-flash card, an
NFS server, or a Syslog server.
Configure the System Log Device
To configure the compact-flash card for system logging, see Adding a Compact-flash Card on page 11. For an NFS or Syslog
server, do the following:
1. Access the configuration menu.
2. Choose Network configuration > NFS or SYSLOG server configuration.
3. Enter the desired parameters for the menu items.
4. Use the ESC key when all parameters are entered to return to the main menu.
5. Choose Save changes.
