Logs

SecureSync maintains different types of event logs (see below) to allow for traceability, and for
record keeping. Should you ever require technical support from Spectracom, you may be asked for
a copy of your logs to facilitate remote diagnosis.
Logs stored internally are being kept automatically, while the storage of log files in a remote loc-
ation has to be set up by the user.
For each type of log, four 75 KB files are maintained internally on a revolving basis, i.e. the oldest
file will be overwritten, as soon as all four files have filled up with event data. The life expectancy
of a log file depends on the amount of data accumulating over time: Some types of logs will fill up
within days, while others can take months until they have reached their maximum storage capa-
city.
Logs can be deleted by the user at any time, see "Clearing Logs" on page 272.

Reference Change : SecureSync has switched from one input reference to another (for
example, IRIG was the selected input being used, but now GNSS is the selected ref-
erence).
