Understanding Remote Logging
The Kernel Log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System Log) and kernel messages
such as error conditions like dropping frames.
You cannot view Kernel Log messages directly from the Administration Web UI for an access point. You
must first set up a remote server running a syslog process and acting as a syslog "log relay host" on your
network. Then, you can configure the AT-TQ2403 Management Software to send its syslog messages to
the remote server.
Using a remote server to collect access point syslog messages affords you several benefits. You can:
Aggregate syslog messages from multiple access points
Store a longer history of messages than kept on a single access point
Trigger scripted management operations and alerts
