Event Notification Setup
How should time generally be displayed?
You use this pull-down menu to determine whether the events in the Event Log are displayed as system
uptime or wall-clock time. If you select system uptime, the events are displayed either since the boot or
since the last time the Event Log was displayed. If you select wall-clock time, the events are displayed
in a YY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS format. If time has not been set on the access point (either manually or by
a time server), the time display appears as uptime regardless of this selection.
How should Event Elapsed (non-wall-clock) Time be displayed?
Choose to display event time since the last boot-up of the access point or the time that has elapsed since
the event occurred.
Severity Level at which to display events
When an event occurs, it may be displayed immediately on the console, on the console log, or on the
GUI log for read purposes only. The event may also be recorded. (You control display and recording of
events through the Event Handling Setup page; see the “Event Handling Setup Page” section on
page 7-21 for details.) Use the pull-down menus to choose one of the sixteen severity levels for each
display area. Table 7-2 lists the severity levels.
