System Commands
To make changes permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select
System Commands. The following commands are used to configure the router:
Save all: Press this button in order to permanently save the current
configuration of the router. If you do restart the system without saving your
configuration, the router will revert back to the previously saved configuration.
Restart: Use this button to restart the system. If you have not saved your
configurations, the router will revert to the previously saved configuration upon
restarting. Connectivity to the unit will be lost. You can reconnect after the unit
reboots.
Restore Defaults: Use this button to restore factory default configuration.
Connectivity to the unit will be lost. You can reconnect after the unit reboots.
Remote Log
The remote log feature forwards all logged information to a remote PC. The type of
information forwarded to the remote PC depends upon the log level. Each log
message is assigned a severity level, which indicates how seriously the triggering
event affects router functions. When you configure logging, you must specify a
severity level for each facility. Messages that belong to the facility and are rated at
that level or higher are logged to the destination.
For PPPoE and PPPoA connections, select Debug if you want to log the
connection information. This is helpful when trying to debug connection problems.
Verify that the Debug box is checked on the PPPoA or PPPoE Connection Setup
screen.
Tabl e 3- 2 defines the different severity levels.
Table 3-2. Severity Levels (1 of 2)
Severity Level Description
Panic System panic or other condition that causes the router to stop
functioning.
Alert Conditions that require immediate correction, such as a corrupted
system database.
Citical Potentially critical conditions, such as hard drive errors.
Error Error conditions that generally have less serious consequences
than errors in the panic, alert, and critical levels.
Warning Conditions that warrant monitoring.
