messages include Error, Critical, Alert, and Emergency. The default severity level is Alert (1). The
severity can be one of the following levels:
• Emergency (0) The highest warning level. If the device is down or not functioning properly, an
emergency log is saved to the device.
• Alert (1) The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved if there is a serious device
malfunction, such as all device features being down.
• Critical (2) The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical device malfunction
occurs, for example, two device ports are not functioning, while the rest of the device ports remain
functional.
