View Log
Clicking the View Log button opens the event log file, displaying the activity
taken by the VLoad Utility as shown in the example in figure 3-9.
Event log data provides a handy reference as to what action has been taken by
VLoad with any Vipersat modem in the network, and the corresponding results.
The information is contained in a simple text file named Vload.log that VLoad
creates in the Windows directory C:\Documents and Settings\\
Application Data\Vload . This file can be opened independently of the VLoad
program, providing an easy means for copying or saving the file and/or its
contents in a variety of formats for offline use.
The event log contains a detailed history of sequenced events, and provides a
useful tool for troubleshooting problems.
