  8. If you have a designated syslog server device on your network, enable Transfer Logs to have the AirStation automatically send generated logs to the syslog server. You can specify the syslog server by either the DNS name or IP address. If you have a USB storage device attached to your AirStation, you can enable Save Logs to USB Storage to send logs to the connected USB drive.
  9. When finished, log out of Settings and close the web browser.
