10.8 System Log
Click the
System Log
link to display the system logs. The
System Log displays data generated or acquired by routine
system communication with other devices, such as the results
of negotiations with the ISP's computers for DNS and gateway
IP addresses. This information does not necessarily represent
unexpected or improper functioning and is not captured by the
system traps that create alarms.
You can click
Save Log
to display a Windows File Download
dialog box that enables opening or saving the contents of the
log to your PC. The file is assigned the default name syslog.vlf,
and can be viewed with any text editor.
To remove all entries from the list, click
Clear Log
. New entries
will begin accumulating and will display when you click
Refresh

10.9 Back/ Restore Config
Click on the
Back/Restore Config
link to upload the
configuration data from your PC or download it back to the
system.
Many of the software features can be configured to address
your needs or your ISP's requirements. This configuration data
becomes part of the software image. You can extract
configuration data from the software image and save it on your
PC as a text file. If you later change the system configuration,
but then want to revert to the previous settings, you can load
the configuration file back to the system.
This feature may be especially useful when you receive an
image upgrade file from your ISP containing software updates.
Uploading the new image may overwrite your customized
settings with default values. Before you load the new image,
you can store the configuration settings. Then, after you load
the image, you can restore your previous configuration.
Click on the
Save Config
button to save the current
configuration.
To restore a saved configuration file, click on the
Browse
button and select the file in windows dialog box.
Click on the
Upload
button to restore the selected file from your
PC.
