SysLog Server Functions
MultiTech has built SysLog server functionality into the software of the TalkAnytime units. SysLog is a de
facto standard for logging events in network communication systems.
The SysLog Server resides in the TalkAnytime unit itself. To implement this functionality, you will need a
SysLog client program (sometimes referred to as a “daemon”). SysLog client programs, both paid and
freeware, can be obtained from Kiwi Enterprises, among other firms. Read the End-User License
Agreement carefully and observe license requirements. See www.kiwisyslog.com. SysLog client programs
essentially give you a means of structuring console messages for convenience and ease of use.
MultiTech Systems does not endorse any particular SysLog client program. SysLog client programs by
qualified providers should suffice for use with TalkAnytime units. Kiwi’s brief description of their SysLog
program is as follows:
“Kiwi Syslog Daemon is a freeware Syslog Daemon for the Windows platform. It
receives, logs, displays and forwards Syslog messages from hosts such as routers,
switches, Unix hosts and any other syslog enabled device. There are many
customizable options available.”
Before a SysLog client program is used, the SysLog functionality must be enabled within the TalkAnytime
in the Logs menu under Configuration.
The IP Address used will be that of the TalkAnytime itself.
In the Port field, entered by default, is the standard (‘well-known’) logical port, 514.
