The System Log displays data generated or acquired by routine system
communication with other devices, such as the results of negotiations with the
ISP's computers for DNS and gateway IP addresses. This information does not
necessarily represent unexpected or improper functioning and is not captured by the system
traps that create alarms.
This information accumulates and displays in a system log window. To view the system log, click the Admin tab, and then click System Log in the task bar. Normally, the time stamps appearing in the log reflect the elapsed time since the modem booted up. However, if SNTP is configured and has achieved synchronization, the time stamp format is displayed in the military format. You can click Save Log to display a Windows File Download dialog box that enables opening or saving the contents of the log to your PC. The file is assigned the default name syslog.vlf, and can be viewed with any text editor. To remove all entries from the list, click Clear Log. New entries will begin accumulating and will display when you click Refresh. |
