System Log

The router displays connection problems in the "System Log" dialog. The
dialog displays detailed reports from individual applications. The dialog
displays recent information. You can view older log entries by saving the
system log to a file and opening it with a text editor. Use the "Save Log"
button to save the system log to a connected computer. The router saves a
text file with the log extension. You use the second button, "Save Report"
for creating a detailed report. The report is a text file with a txt format. The
report contains the following information which the technical support uses to
assist you:
 statistical data
 routing and process tables
 the system log
 the configuration file
The default length of the system log is 1000 lines. After reaching 1000 lines
a new file is created for storing the system log. After completion of 1000 lines
in the second file, the first file is overwritten with a new file.
The router creates the output of the system log using the Syslogd application.
You can start the Syslogd application with 2 options. The options modify the
behavior of the system log as follows:

Option "-S" followed by a decimal number sets the maximal number of
lines in one log file.
 Option "-R" followed by a hostname or an IP address enables logging to
a remote syslog daemon.
If the remote syslog deamon uses a Linux OS, then enable remote logging
using the "syslogd -R &" command. If remote syslog deamon uses a
Windows OS, install a syslog server application for example, Syslog
Watcher. To start the Syslogd application with these options, modify the "/etc/
init.d/syslog" script using SSH.
