Auto backup of event log to prevent overwrite
This function is designed to maintain a long-term record of the switch’s log files. Moxa Ethernet switches are
capable of saving 1000 event log entries. When the 1000-entry storage limit is reached, the switch will
delete the oldest saved event log. The ABC-02 can be used to back up these event logs. When the number
of switch log entries reaches 1000, the ABC-02 will save the oldest 100 entries from the switch.
Enable the

, and then click
Apply
. After that, when the
ABC-02 is plugged into the switch, the event logs will always be saved to the ABC-02 automatically when
the number of switch log entries reaches 1000. Each backup action saves the oldest 100 logs to the ABC-02
in one file, with the filename generated by the current system time as
MMDDHHmm.ini
. The file is saved
to the
His_log
folder.
NOTE
MM=month, DD=day, HH=hour, mm=minutes, from the system time.
