USER’S GUIDE404 CyberSWITCHS YSTEM M ESSAGESThe CyberSWITCH reports three different types of system messages: informational, warning, anderror messages. These messages are always available on-node via thedr command. To sendsystem message reports to an off-node server, however, you will need to properly configure thesetup. First, you must configure IP Routing, a LAN IP interface and an IP route to the log server.Then you must enable the System Message (DR) log feature:• define and configure at least one log device for system messages• connect the Syslog Server via the LAN port of the CyberSWITCH, and• select an associated UNIX priority tag (default = 38)Since multiple systems may log into a shared, central log server, it is crucial that each system Namebe a unique value. This unique NAS (system) Name is used in the format of the message:: An entire chapter is devoted to the listing and descriptions of the message text. Refer to the SystemMessages chapter for more information.A UTHENTICATION M ESSAGESCyberSWITCH software now separates the authentication messages from other system messagesand places them in their own log. Like the system messages, these authentication messages arealways available on-node. You may access these messages via theda command. To send systemmessage reports to an off-node server, however, you will need to properly configure the setup,similar to the procedure for System Messages: First, configure IP Routing, a LAN IP interface andan IP route to the log server. Next, enable the Authentication Message (DA) log feature:• define and configure at least one log device for authentication messages• connect the Syslog Server via the LAN port of the CyberSWITCH, and• select an associated UNIX priority tag (default = 38)Since multiple systems may log into a shared, central log server, it is crucial that each system Namebe a unique value. This unique NAS (system) Name is used in the format of the message:: An entire chapter is devoted to the listing and descriptions of the message text. Refer to the SystemMessages chapter for more information.C ALL D ETAIL RECORDINGThe CyberSWITCH’s Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature tracks WAN connections on a per useror per device basis. This feature provides you with a way to account for usage of equipment andattached telephone lines.CDR consists of a series of reports about an event, sent to either a local log file or an off-nodedatabase. For switched circuit devices, such as ISDN, the primary events are “connect”,“disconnect” and “reject”. For async terminal connections, they are “term conn”, “term disc”, “termsucc” and “term fail”. A report always refers to the particular entity at the other end of the WANconnection.CDR is always active and available on-node via thelog cdr display command. To send CDRreports to an off-node server, however, you will need to properly configure the setup. First, you
