Logging in the 700wl Series system can be used for accounting and troubleshooting. There are two types
of logging that can take place in the 700wl Series system:
700wl Series system logging
Session logging
The 700wl Series system automatically keeps log entries for a number of events from all components in
the system: client logons and logoffs, errors, reboots, software upgrades, and so on. You can view all
entries in the log, or tailor your view to see entries for individual units, time frames, message categories
and severities, and so on (see
“Viewing 700wl Series System Logs”).
Note: Accurate time and date reporting is necessary for logs. To set the time and date, use the Date
& Time tab under the Network pages.
Viewing 700wl Series System Logs
Log entries from all components connected to the Access Control Server are logged into a central log
database. The
LOGS function will show you the system log file warnings and messages.
The Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager and each Access Controller logs events to the
central log file. Viewing these logs provides important information on the activity of the 700wl Series
system.
» To view the 700wl Series system log file, click LOGS in the Navigation bar.
The Log Files tab appears with a default view of the log file, as shown in
Figure 9-1.
