Syslog Server
This settings can let users remotely log Syslog events from a managed AP device to your external logging server.
You can enable and configure the logging feature from Configure → General setting→ Syslog server.
Status: Enable to open the function to the remote system log.
Log server address: Specify the IP address or hostname of the Syslog server.

Message for blocked Clients
Clients can be blocked from accessing the network. When these clients attempt to connect to the network and open a web browser, they will be redirected to a blocked message. The Network-wide Default block message is configured on a per-network basis. The message is set in the Network-wide > General Settings > AP page.
The blocked splash page below will be presented below to the blocked clients.

Presence reporting
For applications like CRM tools, presence analytics, or location-aware services which need to continuously gather presence data of wireless clients, EnGenius Acess Points are capable of delivering real-time presence data to fulfill the requirement.
EnGenius Presence Service can have managed APs continuously gathering 802.11 probe request frames sent by wireless clients and then sending the data to 3rd party servers configured in FitController.
Configuration
In FitController, the configuration of presence service is at
General Settings > AP > Advanced Settings
the following parameters can be configured on the page:
Parameters | Description |
Server Location | 3rd party server address |
Key | Secret used to generate a SHA256 HMAC signature, over the payload (the JSON message). The signature is then added to a custom HTTP header (“Signature”) in the POST message. |
Interval | The Interval between two consecutive messages has been sent. |
Traffic log
Traffic log feeds wireless client info to remote Syslog server. Note that enabling this setting will severely degrade AP performance. To enable this function, the syslog server must be enabled.
