Configuring the
Event Log
You can configure the following parameters of the event log:
 Whether the event messages are stored in volatile or non-volatile
memory.
 The severity of the displayed messages.
 The number of displayed messages.
 Whether all the messages are assigned the facility level 0, kernel
messages, to make them compatible with the AT-TQ2403 Access
Point.
To configure the event log, perform the following procedure:
1. Select Events from the Status pull-down menu.
The access point displays the “View events generated by this access
point” window. Refer to Figure 35 on page 116.
2. If you want the access point to store the messages in non-volatile
memory, click the Enabled dialog circle for the Persistence parameter.
To stop the access point from storing messages in non-volatile
memory, click the Disabled dialog circle.
Note
Event messages should only be stored in non-volatile memory for
short periods of time, such as when troubleshooting network
problems. Storing messages in non-volatile memory for extended
periods of time can wear out the memory, which can lead to
performance degradation of the access point.
3. If you want to limit the messages by severity level, select the Severity
pull-down menu and select a new value. The range is 0 to 7. The
default is 7.
The access point displays messages of the selected value and all
numerically lower (higher severity) levels. For example, selecting
severity level 3 displays the messages for levels 0 to 3. The default
level 7 displays all messages.
The Severity parameter applies to messages in volatile and non-
volatile memories.
4. If you want to increase or decrease the number of displayed event
messages, select the Depth field and enter a new value. The range is
1 to 128 messages. The default is 128 messages.
The Depth parameter applies to messages in volatile and non-volatile
memories.
