To display the Message Log window, tab to a status window, then use the arrow keys to access
the Host/Dual > PortN Stat > Messages window.
Use the arrow key to scroll up (previous messages) or down (later ones). The Delete key clears
all the messages in the log. The message log window is organized as follows:
•
The first line shows the menu number and the time the most recently logged event
occurred.
•
The second line identifies the log entry number (M00-M31) and, if applicable, the line and
channel on which the event occurred.
•
The third line contains the text of the message. For example:
Call Terminated
means an active call disconnected normally.
LAN session up
means that an incoming connection has been established.
No Connection
means the remote device did not answer the call.
•
The fourth line contains a message qualifier, such as a name or phone number that
qualifies the message displayed.
Understanding Level 4 and Level 6 messages
The data for Level 4 (warning) and Level 6 Syslog messages are derived from the Message
Log displays. Level 4 and Level 6 messages are presented in the following format:
ASCEND: slot-n port-n | line-n, channel-n, text-1
ASCEND: slot-n port-n | line-n, channel-n, text-2
The device address (slot, port or line, and channel) is followed by two lines of text, which are
displayed on lines 3 and 4 of the Message Log window. The device address is suppressed when
it is not applicable or is unknown.
The line represented by text-2 specifies the system name and IP address or MAC address of the
remote end of a session for the LAN Session Up and LAN Session Down messages in the line
represented by text-1. Table A-2 describes the fields of the in the Level 4 and Level syslog
messages.
