Operation

Sending the Syslog Messages
The Syslog client, embedded in the firmware of the VCX V7122, sends error reports/events
generated by the VCX V7122 unit application to a Syslog server, using IP/UDP protocol.
Setting the Syslog Server
To set the Syslog server:
Use the VCX V7122 Embedded Web Server (Advanced Configuration>Network
Settings>screen section Syslog Settings) to enable the Syslog Server (Enable Syslog)
and to enter its IP address (Syslog Server IP address); see
Figure 61 Setting the Syslog Server IP Address
Alternately, use the Embedded Web Server or the BootP/TFTP utility to load the ini
configuration file containing both the IP address and the enabling parameters:
