Logs
The access point generates messages in response to events, faults, errors, changes in
configuration, and other occurrences. The messages are stored locally. In addition, you
can configure the access point to forward the messages to a remote server for monitoring
purposes or long-term archival storage. Local and remote configuration of the logging
capability includes filtering of messages logged or forwarded based on their severity.
View and manage the system log
The system log stores messages in memory based on the severity of an event. You can
view these messages and specify the event severity that the access point logs. You can
also download the messages and clear the message log.
To view and manage the system log:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is directly connected
over WiFi to the access point or connected to the same network as the access point.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you are directly connected to the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login window displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point on
page 33. For more information about the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, see 2.4 GHz
management SSID on page 58.
If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after you complete the initial
log-in process on page 35.
