Figure 3-75. View Event Log Menu
The transceiver's microprocessor monitors many operational parame-
ters and logs them. Events are classified into four levels of importance,
which are described in
condition that prevents normal operation of the unit. These are "critical"
events that cause the unit to enter an "alarmed" state and the
to blink until the condition is corrected. All events are stored in the
Event Log.

The events stored in the Event Log are time-stamped using the time and
date of the locally connected device. The Access Point obtains the time
and date from a Time Server. This server is typically a standard Win-
dows PC server SNTP application. In the absence of the SNTP services,
the user must manually enter time and date information at the Access
Point. (See "DEVICE INFORMATION MENU" on Page 100
server identification.) The manually set time and date clock relies on the
unit's primary power. A loss of power resets the clock to
does not affect previously stored error events.
Packet Statistics Menu
The transceivers maintain running counters of different categories of
events in the Ethernet protocol. The Packet Statistics refer to each
Ethernet interface from the perspective of the radio.
