Basic Configuration
• Syslog: The Syslog feature is used to create records of each buffer event. As
event records are created, they are sent to a Syslog Daemon, at an IP address
defined via the Network Parameters menu. For more information, please refer to
Section 11. The Syslog feature offers three possible settings. (Default = Off)
Off: Syslog disabled. (Default)
On-NotConnected: Messages will only be generated when a user is not
connected to a buffer port (either by /C or direct connect.) This prevents
information captured from the attached device from being put into Syslog
messages while a user is connected to a buffer port.
On-Always: All captured information will be sent out via Syslog message;
whether a user is connected or not.

The Port Parameters menu also offers two additional items used to set the priority of
Syslog messages generated by this port:
Facility: The facility under which this port will log messages.
(Default = Local_0)
Level: The severity (or priority) of messages generated by this port. (Default =
Emergency)
• BufferThreshold: Enables/disables the Buffer Threshold function for Buffer Mode
ports and sets the level that will generate traps and/or Buffer Threshold Alarms at
this port. If set to "0" (zero), then SNMP Traps are disabled at this port.
If the Buffer Threshold parameter is set at a value of one (1) or greater, then the
Buffer Threshold function is enabled, and traps will be sent to the SNMP Managers
whenever the buffer for this port reaches the specified threshold level. For more
information , please refer to Section 12. When a Buffer Threshold value is defined,
this also allows the Buffer Threshold Alarm to be employed as described in
Section 7.7. (Default = Off)
