Introduction
The Model 2285 displays the system status and the log data via a Status Display Screen. This screen is used for
management purposes. System status data includes the model name, serial number, firmware version and the
network configuration of the Model 2285. The Model 2285 can also be configured to deliver log data auto-
matically via email to a specified recipient with the system-logging feature.
The users can configure the Model 2285’ device name, date and time settings, and reload factory default set-
tings in this menu group. The users can also upgrade the firmware of the Model 2285 using the web interface,
remote consoles or serial console.

System Logging
The Model 2285 provides both the system logging feature and the system log status display. The user may con-
figure the Model 2285 to enable or disable the system logging process, the system log buffer size, as well as
select the log storage location.
System log storage location
: The system log can be stored in the Model 2285 internal memory, the mounting
point on an NFS server or the SYSLOG server. If the internal memory is used to store system log data, the log
data will be cleared when the Model 2285 is turned off. To preserve the system log data, set the storage location
to be SYSLOG server or NFS server. To do this, the user must configure the corresponding media in advance.
Unless the media is properly set up, the log will not be written to a specified storage location properly.
