• Syslog
Server
Address: Select the Hostname or IP address from the dropdown menu, or type this in manually.
• Include
System
ID: This option will include the router's "System ID" at the beginning of every log message. This is often useful when a
single remote Syslog server is handling logs for several routers.
• Include
UTF8
Byte
Order
Mark: The log message is sent using UTF-8 encoding. By default the router will attach the Unicode Byte Order
Mark (BOM) to the Syslog message in compliance with the Syslog protocol, RFC5424. Some Syslog servers may not fully support RFC5424
and will treat the BOM as ASCII text, which will appear as garbled characters in the log. If this occurs, disable this option.
Log

USB stick: Only enable this option if instructed by a Cradlepoint support agent. This will write a very verbose log file to the root
level of an attached USB stick. Please disable the feature before removing the USB stick, or you may lose some logging data.

Create

log: This functionality allows for a quick collection of system logging. Create this log file when instructed by a Cradlepoint support
agent.
Router
Services
By default, router services (Enterprise Cloud Manager, NTP, etc.) connect to the router via the WAN. In some setups it makes sense to use the LAN
instead. For example, if your router is used strictly for 3G/4G failover behind another router, you may not want to use 3G/4G data unnecessarily.
Select Use
LAN Gateway to set your router services to connect via the LAN.
LAN Gateway
Address: Input the IP address of the LAN side connection. If this is a 3G/4G failover router operating behind another router, the
LAN Gateway Address is the IP address of that other router.
DNS Server and Secondary
DNS Server: The primary and secondary DNS server numbers match the static DNS values (set at Network
Settings
>
DNS). You can leave the default values or set them manually here. (Changing these values also changes the static DNS values.)
