Logging
The Logging section is used to configure how and where the router stores system log data. The system log is a file that contains information on various system related events and is useful to engineers for troubleshooting the router.
Refer to the figure and table below for information on the router's Logging page.
[[File:{{{file_logging}}}]]

| Save log in | RAM memory | Flash memory; default: RAM memory | Specifies which type of memory to use for storing system logs. |
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics section is used to execute simple network diagnostic tests, including ping, traceroute and nslookup.
[[File:{{{file_diagnostics}}}]]
| Field | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Ping | Traceroute | Nslookup; default: Ping | Selects diagnostic method.
|
| Protocol | IPv4 | IPv6; default: IPv4 | Selects IP address family for diagnostic test. |
| Address | ip | host; default: none | IP address or hostname on which the diagnostic test will be performed. |
Troubleshoot
The Troubleshoot section is used to download various files that contain information used for troubleshooting the router. Refer to the figure and table below for information on the Troubleshoot page.
[[File:{{{file_troubleshoot}}}]]
| Field | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System log | - (interactive button) | Displays the contents of the router's system log file. The system log contains records of various system related events, such as starts/stops of various services, errors, reboots, etc. |
| Kernel log | - (interactive button) | Displays the contents of the router's kernel log file. The kernel log contains records of various events related to the processes of the operating system (OS). |
| Troubleshoot file | - (interactive button) | Downloads the router's Troubleshoot file. It contains the router's configuration information, logs and some other files. When requesting support, it is recommended to always provide the router's Troubleshoot file to Teltonika engineers for analysis. |
| TCP dump file | - (interactive button) | Downloads the router's TCP dump file. TCP dump is a program used to capture packets moving through network interfaces. By default, the router does not store TCP dump information. You must enable TCP dump and save the changes before you can download the file. |
| Enable TCP dump* | off | on; default: off | Turns TCP dump packets capture on or off. |
* More on TCP dump in the next section.
TCP dump
TCP dump is a program used to capture packets moving through network interfaces. By default, the router does not store TCP dump information. You must enable TCP dump and save the changes before you can download the file.
If you enable TCP dump, you will notice additional configuration fields appear. Refer to the figure and table below for realted information.
[[File:{{{file_tcpdump}}}]]
| Field | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable TCP dump | off | on; default: off | Turns TCP dump packet capture on or off. |

| Select packets direction | IN/OUT | Incoming | Outgoing; default: IN/OUT | Only captures packets coming from the specified direction. |
| Host | ip | host; default: none | Only captures packets related to the specified host. |
| Port | integer [0..65335]; default: none | Only captures packets related to the specified communication port. |
| Select storage | Internal storage | / ; default: Internal storage | Specifies where the TCP dump file will be stored. |
Access Control
The Access Control page is used to manage remote and local access to the router.
Important: turning on remote access leaves the router vulnerable to external attackers. Make sure you use a strong password.
SSH
[[File:{{{file_access_ssh}}}]]

WebUI
[[File:{{{file_access_webui}}}]]
| Field | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable HTTP access | off | on; default: on | Turns HTTP access from the local network (LAN) to the router's WebUI on or off. |
| Enable HTTPS access | off | on; default: on | Turns HTTPS access from the local network (LAN) to the router's WebUI on or off. |
| Redirect to HTTPS | off | on; default: off | Redirects connection attempts from HTTP to HTTPS. |

Root CA
The Root CA section is used to add a root CA certificate file to the router. There is a default file already preloaded on the device which will be overwritten by any uploaded file. The certificates must be in .pem format, maximum file size is 300 KB. These certificates are only needed if you want to use HTTPS for your services and the default file should be sufficient in most cases.
