404 CyberSWITCH
S YSTEM M ESSAGES
The CyberSWITCH reports three different types of system messages: informational, warning, and
error messages. These messages are always available on-node via the
dr command. To send
system message reports to an off-node server, however, you will need to properly configure the
setup. First, you must configure IP Routing, a LAN IP interface and an IP route to the log server.
Then you must enable the System Message (DR) log feature:
•
define and configure at least one log device for system messages
• connect the Syslog Server via the LAN port of the CyberSWITCH, and
• select an associated UNIX priority tag (default = 38)
Since multiple systems may log into a shared, central log server, it is crucial that each system Name
be a unique value. This unique NAS (system) Name is used in the format of the message:
<NAS Name>: <Message Text>
An entire chapter is devoted to the listing and descriptions of the message text. Refer to the System
Messages chapter for more information.
A UTHENTICATION M ESSAGES
CyberSWITCH software now separates the authentication messages from other system messages
and places them in their own log. Like the system messages, these authentication messages are
always available on-node. You may access these messages via the
da command. To send system
message reports to an off-node server, however, you will need to properly configure the setup,
similar to the procedure for System Messages: First, configure IP Routing, a LAN IP interface and
an IP route to the log server. Next, enable the Authentication Message (DA) log feature:
•
define and configure at least one log device for authentication messages
• connect the Syslog Server via the LAN port of the CyberSWITCH, and
• select an associated UNIX priority tag (default = 38)
Since multiple systems may log into a shared, central log server, it is crucial that each system Name

C ALL D ETAIL R ECORDING
The CyberSWITCH’s Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature tracks WAN connections on a per user
or per device basis. This feature provides you with a way to account for usage of equipment and
attached telephone lines.
CDR consists of a series of reports about an event, sent to either a local log file or an off-node
database. For switched circuit devices, such as ISDN, the primary events are “connect”,
“disconnect” and “reject”. For async terminal connections, they are “term conn”, “term disc”, “term
succ” and “term fail”. A report always refers to the particular entity at the other end of the WAN
connection.
CDR is always active and available on-node via the log cdr display command. To send CDR
reports to an off-node server, however, you will need to properly configure the setup. First, you
