Syslog

The Syslog messaging system enables the AP to transmit event messages to a central server for monitoring and
troubleshooting. The AP can send messages to one Syslog server (it cannot send messages to more than one Syslog
server). The access point logs “Session Start (Log-in)” and “Session Stop (Log-out)” events for each wireless client as
an alternative to RADIUS accounting.
See RFC 3164 at

http://www.rfc-editor.org

for more information on the Syslog standard.
