Telnet Server

The following 

Telnet Server

 parameters can be set:

Telnet Server 

This option activates Telnet access to the 

airFiber AF24.

• 

Server Port 

Specify the TCP/IP port of the 

Telnet Server

.

NTP Client

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for 
synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over 
packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. You can 
use it to set the system time on the airFiber AF24. If the 

Log

 option is enabled, then the system time is reported 

next to every log entry that registers a system event.

NTP Client 

Enables the airFiber AF24 to obtain the system 

time from a time server on the Internet.

• 

NTP Server 

Specify the IP address or domain name of 

the NTP server.

Dynamic DNS

Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names 
to IP addresses; Each DNS server on the Internet holds 
these mappings in its respective DNS database. Dynamic 
Domain Name System (DDNS) is a network service that 
notifies the DNS server in real time of any changes in the 
airFiber AF24’s IP settings. Even if the airFiber AF24’s IP 
address changes, you can still access the airFiber AF24 
through its domain name.

Dynamic DNS 

If enabled, the airFiber AF24 allows 

communications with the DDNS server.

• 

Host Name 

Enter the host name of the DDNS server.

• 

Username 

Enter the user name of the DDNS account.

• 

Password 

Enter the password of the DDNS account.

• 

Show 

Check the box to display the password 

characters.

System Log

System Log 

This option enables the registration routine 

of system log (syslog) messages. By default it is disabled.

• 

Remote Log 

Enables the syslog remote sending 

function. System log messages are sent to a remote 
server, which is specified in the 

Remote Log IP Address

 

and 

Remote Log Port

 fields.

 -

Remote Log IP Address 

The host IP address that 

receives syslog messages. Properly configure the 
remote host to receive syslog protocol messages.

 -

Remote Log Port 

The TCP/IP port that receives syslog 

messages. 

514

 is the default port for the commonly 

used system message logging utilities.

Every logged message contains at least a system time and 
host name. Usually a specific service name that generates 
the system event is also specified within the message. 
Messages from different services have different contexts 
and different levels of detail. Usually error, warning, or 
informational system service messages are reported; 
however, more detailed debug level messages can also 
be reported. The more detailed the system messages 
reported, the greater the volume of log messages 
generated.
