function independently, and parameters selected for one log will not be applied to the
other.
• Off: The Log is disabled, and command activity and/or alarm events will not be
logged.
• On - With Syslog: The Log is enabled, and A/B switching and/or alarm events will
be logged. The AFS-16 will generate a Syslog Message every time a Log record is
created. (Default Setting.)
• On - Without Syslog: The Log is enabled, and A/B switching and/or alarm events
will be logged, but the AFS-16 will not generate a Syslog Message every time a Log
record is created.

• In order for the Audit Log or Alarm Log to generate Syslog Messages, Syslog
Parameters must first be defined as described in Section 11.

and display two dots (..) in place of the remaining characters.
