Audio+ Logger

5-124
The Audio+ Logger is a utility that records diagnostic information about the
Audio+ cards. This information is used by Polycom personnel to identify
problems on the card.
The Audio+ Logger is available in the MGC-50/100, but not in the MGC-25.
A trace file may be created manually via IP terminal. The Audio+ trace file is
automatically stored on the MCU and can be retrieved using the Retrieve
Diagnostic Files utility. The file can then be analyzed to determine the
problem.

The files are stored under the folder: 7.256\mcu\ap_log
