7. Its advantages are that Syslog is a more widely used de facto standard which more IT system administrators are likely to be familiar with and already have access to and that it minimizes network traffic by having the RelayGoose II push its diagnostic messages at the Syslog daemon as each system event occurs rather than the unit having to be constantly polled as in udpdb Also the matrix of event type and severity checkboxes allows us to narrow down the diagnostic messages to only those events which are of interest to the issue at hand further reducing network traffic and the amount of data needing to be logged and reviewed These improvements will be especially apparent if it should be necessary to gather diagnostic information over an extended period R 3 EME F Sof El Ge so El E E Ee ai a C a al a a a al a al m al a Gal m al a al a al zr al Gle El El El Gie El file El oso g fe ica g le ica ca le le ca ca fe fe z c g fe ca A g IAIA IAI IIA II IIA IIA IAI AIAR f LE 3 LE I CE J LI DLI D LIDD LIOR kcd z adaa se ss Cs Ws Cs Cy InI Cs SY J NEN genie Ise IER IEE IGEN ene ene en OLEOLBORR IGG IGS IE OLSOLRSOLEO NENT NEEN ITE Ieee uNg a DLEOLE OLJEN ORI OR OL OLeOLEOS APEC IFRS IES IFS IGEN ene en C r r r r r C C r r r r r Iim Se eno o i D pi D Ji D B n Li n 7 n n L 5 r C Ji D r o LAOLE CL 7 x The

Goose II remote monitoring system To get the most out of your RelayGoose II we highly recommend taking the time to look through this manual to familiarize yourself with the product and its features before attempting to install and operate it as this model adds a number of features and capabilities not found in other models of the WeatherGoose II series In particular RelayGoose II offers the ability to trigger a set of built in dry contact relays in response to alarm conditions providing you with additional options for alerting building personnel to undesirable changes in conditions within your facility Now instead of just sending e mails and SNMP traps RelayGoose II can actually set off a physical alarm light or siren trigger an automatic phone dialer be tied in to your building s security alarm system and those are just a few of the possibilities Rel ayGoose l I USER MANUAL QuickStart S amp up Guide As shipped from the factory the RelayGoose II is configured with the following default network settings e IP ADDRESS 192 168 123 123 e SUBNET MASK 255 255 255 0 e DEFAULT GATEWAY 192 168 123 1 To initially configure the unit you will generally need to connect it directly to a laptop or desktop PC via a crossover Ethernet cable and configure the PC s network card to match the 192 168 xxx xxx subnet If your network card is not already configured this way simply follow these directions Windows 95 98 2000 XP only M
