Syslog messages
In the "Syslog messages" area, you can activate the Syslog messages. When the Syslog
function is activated, the module generates Syslog messages at the preset UDP port
according to RFC 5426. Syslog messages log information during access to the module as
well as configuration changes. By default, these are saved in a log file and output in the "The
"Diagnostics - Syslog logbook" menu item (Page 86)" menu. The log file is set up as a
circulating buffer. If all the entries in the log file are occupied, the next new entry deletes the
oldest entry.
When supplied from the factory this setting is disabled and it may have to be enabled here.
