COM log settings

Transmitted data through COM port could be logged for recording or debugging purposes. Addition-

ally, the logs could be reported to an external Syslog server as well. Figure 24 shows the COM Log

Settings page under the Log Settings menu. Description of each option is explained as follows.

• Log Data Contents: If this option is enabled, the COM logging function will log the content's

data that is being transmitted and received in raw bytes. If this option is disabled, COM logging

function will only log the length of data to reduce system load.

wienet SDS can store up to 100 Kbytes internally. A request or a response will be in one line, and the

data longer than 512 bytes will go into another line. You can retrieve logs by using an FTP Client. The

FTP login is the same as the Web UI login. Logs are located in /var/log/logcomxx (xx is the port num-

ber). When the reserved space is full, new logs will replace old logs. We strongly recommend sending

COM logs to a remote Syslog server.

• Data Types: There are two radio buttons, which are hexadecimal (HEX) and ASCII, to select the

desired logged data's format.

• COM Ports: The user can select which port(s) will be logged by checking the corresponding

boxes.

• Enable Syslog Server: Enabling this option allows the user to send COM logs to a remote Syslog

server. It is possible to send COM logs to the same Syslog server used previously for event log-

ging (see section 5.8.1 System log settings, p. 27).

• IP Address: When the Syslog Server is enabled in the previous option, please specify the remote

Syslog server's IP address in this field.

• Syslog Server Service Port: This option allows user to specify the remote Syslog Server Port

number between 1 and 65535. Note that the default port number is 514.
