Configuring the Device Server 41
Syslog
The system log is sent to the specified host. You can configure a primary and secondary host for the
syslog information and specify the level for which you want syslog information sent.
SNMP
If you are using SNMP to manage/configure the Device Server, or to view statistics or traps, you
must set up a User in SNMP version 3 or a Community in SNMP version 1,2 to allow your SNMP
manager to connect to the Device Server; this can be done in the DeviceManager, WebManager, CLI,
or Menu. You must then load the perle-ds1.MIB (found on the CD-ROM packaged with the Device
Server) file into your SNMP manager before you connect to the Device Server.
Configuring Time
The Device Server has an internal clock that can be set, but it will be reset during a reboot or a power
outage.
Language support
Two language files, in addition to English, are supplied on the supplemental CD, French and German.
You can use any of these language files to create a translation into a language of your choice. You
can download the language file (whether the language is supplied or translated) into the Device
Server and select the
Language option of Customlang (custom language), making the Menu, CLI,
and WebManager field labels display in your language.
You can view Menu, CLI, or WebManager in one other language only (as well as English). If you
download another language file, this new language will replace the first language you downloaded.
You can revert to English at any time; the English language is stored permanently in the Device
Server and is not overwritten by your new language. Each user logged into the Device Server can
operate in either English or the downloaded language.
Loading a Supplied Language
This section describes how to download a language file using the CLI, since it is the least intuitive
method. French and German language files are provided on the supplemental CD.
To load one of the supplied languages into the Device Server, so the Menu, CLI and WebManager
fields appear in another language, do the following:
1. Open the supplemental CD and identify the language file, either Iolan_ds_French.txt or
Iolan_ds_German.txt, or supply one of your own translated files.
2. Copy the language file to a host machine on the network; place it in the main file system or on
the main hard drive.
3. Either use the TFTP defaults in the Device Server or, configure as necessary, TFTP in the Device
Server.
4. In the CLI of the Device Server, enter the host IP address and file name; for example,
netload customlang 172.16.4.1 /temp/Iolan_ds_French.txt
Do not enter a drive letter! Also, the path and/or file name must begin with the forward slash (/)
character.
The Device Server will download the language file via TFTP.
