Instruction manual

DLP-10 Using the Event Log (Syslog)

Introduction

The ATLAS Event Log is used to log various message types at settable threshold levels. The Event Log is

a useful tool for troubleshooting switchboard (or call connection) activities including the viewing of digits

received, digits transferred, and ISDN Messages. The Event Log can maintain the most recent 350 lines of

data in a first in/first out buffer. To ensure that important data is not lost, save the Event Log messages to an

external Syslog server. The ATLAS ships with an ADTRAN-provided Syslog server.

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a

lightning storm.

Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling modules,

wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components. Place

modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When working on

modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically grounded.
