10.3 Log and Trace

There are two logging facilities in the Prestige. The first is the error logs and trace records that are stored
locally. The second is the UNIX syslog facility for message logging.

procedures to view the local error/trace log:
Step 1. Type 24 in the main menu to display Menu 24 – System Maintenance.
Step 2.
From menu 24, type 3 to display Menu 24.3 – System Maintenance – Log and Trace.
