Device Port Buffer
The SLC 8000 unit supports real-time data logging for each device port. The port can save the
data log to a file, send an email notification of an issue, or take no action.
You can define the path for logged data on a port-by-port basis, configure file size and number of
files per port for each logging event, and configure the device log to send an email alert message
automatically to the appropriate parties indicating a particular error.
Configuration Options
You may use the backlit front-panel LCD display for initial setup and configuration and to view
current network, console, and date/time settings, and get internal temperature status.
Both a web interface viewed through a standard browser and a command line interface (CLI) are
available for configuring the SLC settings and monitoring performance.
