The Settings section of the WP500 allows users to configure various system-wide parameters that ensure optimal operation, communication, and security of the device. This section provides access to key settings, enabling the customization and management of essential features. It includes general communication settings, syslog configuration, system usage notifications, and redundancy setup.

General Settings

In this subsection, you can configure fundamental communication protocols that WP500 relies on. These include:

  • FTP Configuration: Configure FTP settings to allow file transfers to and from the WP500.
  • SSH Configuration: Set up SSH (Secure Shell) for secure remote access to the device, ensuring encrypted communication between the WP500 and remote systems.
  • SD Card Settings: Manage SD card operations, including setting up storage parameters, and ensuring proper handling of data stored on the external card.

Syslog Configuration

Syslog is a standard for logging program messages, which can be crucial for monitoring and troubleshooting. WP500 allows you to configure syslog to centralize logging for the device, making it easier to track system events, warnings, and errors across various services. These logs can be directed to a remote server, enabling centralized log management for multiple devices in your network.

System Usage Notifications

WP500 provides system usage notifications to keep administrators informed about the operational status of the device. This feature includes alerts on CPU usage, memory consumption, and other critical system metrics, ensuring that the device operates within acceptable thresholds. Configurable notifications can be sent via email or other messaging protocols, keeping you updated on the system's performance and potential issues.

Redundancy Setting

For enhanced reliability, the WP500 supports redundancy settings, ensuring continuous operation even in case of device failure. By enabling redundancy, you can set up the WP500 in a primary-secondary configuration with another device, specifying IP addresses, subnets, and common settings for network interfaces. This configuration allows automatic failover, maintaining system availability and minimizing downtime in critical applications.
