The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The System Message Logging feature logs the system events to a remote server called a Syslog server. Each system event triggers a Syslog message containing the details of that event.
If the System Message Logging feature is enabled, the controller sends a syslog message to the syslog server configured on the controller.
Set up a Syslog server in your network before starting with the following procedure.
This operation can be performed only by Admin users.
After the Mobility Express Controller reboots, proceed to Starting the Initial Configuration Wizard.
At any time, you can reboot the controller by choosing Management > Software Update, and then clicking Restart.
Access points have two kinds of memory, the active, but volatile, RAM, and the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). During normal operation, the current configuration of the Cisco Mobility Express controller resides on the RAM of the master AP. During a reboot, the volatile RAM is completely erased, but the data on the NVRAM is retained.
At any time, you can save the Cisco Mobility Express controller's configuration from the RAM to the NVRAM of the master AP. This ensures that in the event of a reboot, the controller can restart with the last saved configuration.
To save the controller's current configuration from the RAM to the NVRAM, click Save Configuration at the top-right corner of the Cisco Mobility Express web interface, and then click Ok.
Upon successful saving of the configuration, a message conveying the same is displayed.
