Setting Logging Options

The AP keeps an event log based on settings for logging options. This allows the administrator to log important events and keeps the log concise through the 128-entry circular buffer. To set even logging options, do the following:

  1. Select Set Event Logging Configuration from the Main Menu, which generates the Event Logging Configuration window.
  2. Set Any Event Logging to Enabled to log all events.
  3. Disable events that do not require logging when Any Event Logging is disabled.
  4. Press space bar or left/right arrows to toggle between Enabled and Disabled.
