NOTE: Logging levels are not a progression from no logging to all logging. Logging Level 0 is no logging, but Logging Level 4 is not
“more” logging than Logging Level 3: these two levels, for example, are different but 4 is not a more comprehensive amount
of logging than 3.
Click Apply.
NOTE: In addition to the Logs which are transmitted for remote/USB flash storage, a cache of the most recent 8K of logged data
per serial port is maintained locally. To view the local cache of logged serial port data select Manage > Port Logs.
