4.1.3 Using Logged Operation Events

(See Event Log Menu on Page
The transceiver's microprocessor monitors many operational parame-
ters and logs them as various classes of "events". If the event is one that
affects performance, it is an "alarmed". There are also normal or routine
events such as those marking the rebooting of the system, implementa-
tion of parameter changes and external access to the entraNET Manage-
ment System. Informational events are stored in temporary (RAM)
memory that will be lost in the absence of primary power, and Alarms
will be stored in permanent memory (Flash memory) until cleared by
user request. Table 2-5
Table 4-4. Event Classifications
Level
Informational
Minor
Major
Critical
These various events are stored in the transceiver's "Event Log" and can
be a valuable aid in troubleshooting unit problems or detecting attempts
at breaching network security.

4.1.4 Alarm Conditions

(See View Current Alarms on Page
Most events, classified as "critical", will make the
and will inhibit normal operation of the transceiver. The LED will
remain blinking until the corrective action has been completed
