C.1

Introduction

The MR-S2 supports a feature known as system logging, more commonly called Syslog.
This section illustrates how a system logger can be set up on a Linux or Unix system
the MR-S2 to report system events to a logger attached via an Ethernet connection.
C.2

Enabling a System Logger

To enable system logging, add the following command string to the bottom of the
/etc/syslog.conf file on the Logging Server:
# log the mux messages to here
*.=info
Where:
*.=info tells the logger to send all messages it receives from the Mux to the Dir/file

Note that this is merely a sample configuration. CEFD does not support the setup of a syslog
server, since it is assumed that one is already configured and operational for use.
