Enabling and Disabling the Log Relay Host on the Status Menu’s Events Page
To enable and configure log relaying on the Status menu’s Events page, set the log relay options as
described below.
Update Settings
To apply your changes, click Update.
If you enabled the log relay host, clicking Update will activate remote logging. The access point will send its
kernel messages real-time for display to the remote log server monitor, a specified kernel log file, or other
storage, depending on how you configured the log relay host.
If you disabled the log relay host, clicking Update will disable remote logging.
Note
The syslog process will default to use port 514. USRobotics recommends using this default port.
However, if you choose to reconfigure the log port, make sure that the port number that you assign to
syslog is not being used by another process.
