The Remote Log Server Settings page contains the following fields: • Log Server - Server to which logs can be sent. • UDP Port (1-65535) - Sets the UDP port from which the logs are sent. The default value is 514. • Facility - A user-defined application from which system logs are sent to the remote server. Only one facility can be assigned to a single server. If a second facility level is assigned, the first facility level is overridden. All applications defined for a device use the same facility on a server. The possible field values are from Local 0 to Local 7. • Description - Sets the server description. The maximum length is 64 characters. • Severity - Selects the log severity. Selecting a severity level automatically selects all higher severity levels. • Remove Log Server - Removes a server from the Log Server list. Checking the check box removes the server from the list. Leaving the box unchecked maintains the server in the list. The Remote Log Server Settings page also contains a severity list. The severity definitions are the same as the severity definitions on the RAM Log Table page. Sending Logs to a Server 1. Open the Remote Log Server Settings page. 2.
