By default, all events are logged in the event history.
By toggling each event descriptor either Yes or No, you can determine which ones are logged and which are
ignored.
You can enable or disable the syslog client dynamically. When enabled, it will report any appropriate and
previously unreported events.
You can specify the syslog server's address either in dotted decimal format or as a DNS name up to 63
characters.
You can specify the UNIX syslog Facility to use by selecting the Facility pop-up.

Installing the Syslog client

The Goodies folder on the Netopia CD contains a Syslog client daemon program that can be configured to
report the WAN events you specified in the Logging Configuration screen.
To install the Syslog client daemon, exit from the graphical Netopia CD program and locate the CD directory
structure through your Windows desktop, or through Windows Explorer. Go to the Goodies directory on the CD
and locate the Sds15000.exe program. This is the Syslog daemon installer. Run the Sds15000.exe program
and follow the on screen instructions for enabling the Windows Syslog daemon.
