Time and Date
The events stored in the Event Log are time-stamped using the time and date of the locally connected device.
Remote units obtain this information from the Access Point when they associate with it. The Access Point
obtains the time and date from a Time Server. This server can generally be provided by a standard Windows
PC server SNTP application. In the absence of the SNTP services, the user must manually enter it at the
Access Point. (See “Device Information” on Page 25 for SNTP server identification.) The manually set time
and date clock is dependent on the unit’s primary power. A loss of power will reset the clock to January 1,
2002 but will not affect previously stored error events.

•
Current Alarms
—View list of root causes that have placed the Device Status in the alarmed state.
(See “Alarm/Event Conditions” on Page 99)
•
View Log
—View a list of events stored in the current log. Some of these events are stored in volatile
memory and will be erased with a loss of power. The events are numbered for easier identification
and navigation.
•
Clear Log
—Purges the log of all events.
TIP:
Save your Event Log before choosing to clear it in order to retain potentially valuable trou-
bleshooting information. (See “Upgrading the Firmware” on Page 84 for an overview on
how to transfer files from the transceiver to a computer on the network using TFTP.)
•
Send Log
—Initiate TFTP transfer of the unit’s event Event Log in a plain text (ASCII) file to a TFTP
server at the remote location.
•
TFTP Host Address
—IP address of the computer on which the TFTP server resides. This same IP
address is used in other screens/functions (reprogramming, logging, etc.). Changing it here also
changes it for other screens/functions. [
Any valid IP address; 127.0.0.1
]
•
Filename
—Name to be given to the Event Log file sent to the TFTP server for archiving. [
Any 40-char
alphanumeric string; Blank
]
NOTE:
You might want to change the filename to reflect the type of log you intend to archive and/or its
date.
•
TFTP Time-out
—Time in seconds the TFTP server will wait for a packet ACK (acknowledgment)
from the transceiver before canceling the file transfer. [
10 to 120 seconds; 10
]
•
Syslog Server
—IP address to which alarms are sent using the syslog message format. [
Any valid IP
address; 0.0.0.0
]
