internal memory is used to store system log data, the log data will be cleared when the STS Series is
turned off. To preserve the system log data, set the storage location to be the ATA/IDE fixed disk card,
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 user will not be able to select a storage location
from the interface.
 System log buffer size
This parameter defines the maximum amount of system log data that can be logged. When using
internal memory to store data, the total size of the system log cannot exceed 300 Kbytes.
When using an ATA/IDE fixed disk card to store log data, the maximum buffer size is dependent upon
the card capacity.
When using an NFS server to store logs data, the maximum buffer size is unlimited. The user should
configure the NFS server to ensure that the port logging system works properly.
When using the SYSLOG server to store log data, the user cannot set the buffer size.
The STS Series can also be configured to send log data automatically if the number of logs unsent
reaches a pre-defined number. If enabled, the user must set parameters to initiate the creation of a
email. These parameters would include the number of logs required to trigger an email, the recipient
email address, etc. Figure 6-2 shows the configuration and system log view screen.
