possible options are:
extended Messages include the date, time, and

normal Messages do not include the date, time,

Description
This command creates a new output definition. The switch uses the
definition to send event messages to a device on your network. You can
create up to nineteen output definitions.
Note
This version of the AT-S63 management software supports only
syslog servers as output definitions.
Note
The switch must have a routing interface on the local subnet where
the syslog server is a member. The switch uses the IP address of
the interface as its source address when sending packets to the
server. For instructions on how to add a routing interface to the
switch, refer to “ADD IP INTERFACE” on page 548.
After creating a output definition with this command, you must customize it
by defining which event messages you want the switch to send. You can
customize a definition so that the switch sends all of its event messages or
limit it to just a selection of events from particular modules in the AT-S63
management software. Customizing a definition is accomplished with
“ADD LOG OUTPUT” on page 224 or “SET LOG OUTPUT” on page 239.
Note
The default configuration for a new output definition is no event
messages. The switch does not send events until you customize the
definition.
The OUTPUT parameter specifies the ID number for the new output
definition. The range is 2 to 20. Every definition must have a unique ID
number.
The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address of the syslog server.
