The Syslog feature can create log records of each Alarm Event. As these event
records are created, they are sent to a Syslog Daemon, located at an IP address
dened via the Network Parameters menu.

the System Parameters Menu, and dene the IP address for the Syslog Daemon via
the Network Port Conguration menu.

only available to accounts that permit Administrator level commands.
2. System Parameters Menu: Access the System Parameters Menu as
described in Section 5.3, then set the following parameters:
