Configuring the Syslog Server
The EncrypTight appliance can be configured to send log messages and events to a syslog server on the
management PC or other device. First, install the Kiwi Syslog Daemon as an application and follow the
documentation provided with the product for initial configuration.
After you have installed the syslog daemon, use ETEMS to configure the appliances to send log messages
to the syslog server. See the configuration chapter for your appliance model for more information about
configuring syslog servers and log events.
Installing ETKMSs
Install the ETKMS server in a physically secure location. This server should be dedicated to the ETKMS
functionality and requires the following external connections:
NOTE
The mouse and keyboard are required only for the initial system configuration and can be disconnected
after you complete the ETKMS installation.
ETKMSs are shipped with a factory default IP address of 192.168.1.3.
Configuring ETKMSs
Although some of the essential configuration of a ETKMS is the same for both local ETKMSs and
external ETKMSs, the procedures for configuring each are different. For this reason, the basic
configuration of a local ETKMS is discussed separately.
