Syslog Mode
A Syslog Server must be present on the network so that the handset can
send log messages and have them saved. The Syslog Server IP address
can be configured using DHCP or statically configured.
Note: If the Syslog Server address is blank (000.000.000.000 or
255.255.255.255) or the handset is using DHCP and no option 7 is
received from the DHCP server, the handset does not send any syslog
messages.
Each syslog message includes the following:
• Date and time (to 1100th of a second) since the handset power on
(configured to January 1 00:0:00); requires an SNTP server
• WLAN Handset MAC address
• WLAN Handset IP address
• Sequence number
• plus, additional items, based on the message type, as shown in Table 28
"Syslog message contents" (page 207) .
Message example:
Jan 1 00:01:26 0090.7a02.2a1b (172.16.0.46) [001a] RStat: AP
