Syslog
The Syslog messaging system enables the AP to transmit event messages to a central server for monitoring and
troubleshooting. The access point logs “Session Start (Log-in)” and “Session Stop (Log-out)” events for each wireless
client as an alternative to RADIUS accounting.
See RFC 3164 at http://www.rfc-editor.org for more information on the Syslog standard.
