Technician's Handbook
Backing Up Log Entries
To back up log entries, your communication package must support the
Kermit protocol.This log back-up procedure allows you to copy all
maintenance log entries into a text file on either a directory on your PC's
hard disk, or on a diskette in the PC's disk drive.
To back up log entries:
1. Select the following commands:
SYSTEM
DATABASE
LOGS_BACKUP
ENTER
The system prompts you for the file name.
Ensure that the file name is meaningful to you. It can include
abbreviations for the name of a remote site, the purpose or function of
the database, the version of the software, or the number of the
database.
2. Enter the file name.
3. Press ENTER.
The system then prompts you to exit to a local Kermit session.
Ensure that the Kermit session is set to text mode, because the
maintenance log entries must copy into a text file.
4. In the Kermit session, issue the Receive command.
While the backup is in progress, the top seven-segment LED on the
MCC shows "A", and the lower seven-segment LED shows a dash
that is circling in a clockwise direction.
