11.2.  Testing Syslog Configuration

After you have configured the Outlet Managed PDU as described in Section 11.1, 

the /TEST command can be used to make certain that the function is properly set 

up.  To test the Syslog function, access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode via 

the Text Interface using an account that permits Administrator level commands, then 

type 

/TEST and press [Enter] to display the Test Menu.

When the Syslog Test feature is selected, the Outlet Managed PDU will attempt 

to send a test Syslog message, using the current Syslog configuration.  If the test 

message is not received by your Syslog Daemon, review the procedure outlined in 

Section 11.1 to make certain the Outlet Managed PDU and the Syslog Daemon are 

properly configured.

In addition to providing a means to test the Syslog and SNMP Trap features, the Test 

Menu also includes a Ping command option, which can be used in a manner similar 

to the DOS ping command to check to make certain that the unit is communicating 

properly.  Note that in order for the Ping command to function with domain 

names, you must first configure Domain Name Server parameters as described in 

Section 5.9.5.
