SysLog Server Functions

MultiTech has built SysLog server functionality into the software of the

MultiVOIP units. SysLog is a de facto standard for logging events in

network communication systems.
The SysLog Server resides in the MultiVOIP unit itself. To implement

this functionality, you will need a SysLog client program (sometimes

referred to as a “daemon”). SysLog client programs, both paid and

freeware, can be obtained from Kiwi Enterprises, among other firms.

Read the End-User License Agreement carefully and observe license

requirements. See www.kiwisyslog.com. SysLog client programs

essentially give you a means of structuring console messages for

convenience and ease of use.
MultiTech Systems does not endorse any particular SysLog client

program. SysLog client programs by qualified providers should suffice

for use with MultiVOIP units. Kiwi’s brief description of their SysLog

program is as follows:

“Kiwi Syslog Daemon is a freeware Syslog

Daemon for the Windows platform. It

receives, logs, displays and forwards Syslog

messages from hosts such as routers,

switches, Unix hosts and any other syslog

enabled device. There are many customizable

options available.”
