Write Threshold

To extend the lifetime of the event log's flash memory, a write threshold is set for
each event entered in flash memory. The write threshold is 20 entries for each
event. If any event exceeds the write threshold, an event entry is displayed in the
Event Log screen.
Figure 3-52 shows an example of the event log entry for this type of event.
Entry Number:
The last event exceeded the write threshold. Further write attempts
by this event are blocked. The write threshold will be cleared when
the switch is reset or when the Event Log is compressed.
