2.2.4.6 Loghost
The modem can send system log messages to a specified loghost. This feature is mainly intended for debugging
purposes and a loghost is completely optional. Normally only error messages and a limited number of startup
messages are logged.
The “syslog” protocol is used to send the messages. Any host system with a syslog facility may be used to collect
the messages. Most Unix and Linux system have syslog capability and there are both free and commercial syslog
programs for Windows.
Specifying the loghost with an IP number of 0.0.0.0 or with a name of “none” disables the syslog messages. The
system is configured at the factory with the syslog messaging disabled.
To set a loghost use the command
> loghost aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
or
> loghost hostname.domainname
where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address of the loghost in the usual “dotted quad” format, or
hostname.domainname is the hostname and domain name of the loghost. Note that there is no default domain
name so it must be explicitly specified with the hostname.
