Saving the Event

Log

The Event Log menu has the selection “S - Save Log to File” for saving the
current contents of the log as a file in the file system. Once in the file
system, you can either view it or download it to your management
workstation.

Before selecting the option, configure options 2 to 7 in the Event Log
menu to specify which log entries you want to save. When you select the
option, you are asked to specify a filename. The name can be up to 16
alphanumeric characters, followed by the extension “.log”.

For instructions on the AT-S62 file system, refer to Chapter 10, File
System.
