System Log

The system log displays system facility messages with date and time

stamp. These are messages documenting functions performed internal

to the system, based on the system’s functionality. Generally, the Admin-

istrator would only use this information if trained as or working with a

field engineer or as information provided to technical support.

The System log will continue to accumulate listings. If you wish to

clear listings manually, use the

Clear

button.

Web Access Log

The Web Access Log displays system facility messages with date and

time stamp for any actions involving web access. For example, this log re-

cords when you set encryption mode, change operating mode, etc., using

the web browser. It establishes a running record regarding what actions

were performed and by whom.

The Web access log will continue to accumulate listings. If you wish

to clear listings manually, use the
