restart.

Displaying the system logs

The system logs contain warnings and information from the system components of SmartWare. In case of
problems it is often useful to check the event or the supervisor logs for information about malfunctioning sys-
tem components. The event log stores general events such as flash full, DSP failed etc., comparable with the
event log on Windows NT. The supervisor log stores information from the system supervisor such as memory
full, task failed etc.
System resets may have a number of reasons, the most prominent being a manual reset issued on the telnet/
console ('reload'). Other reset reasons include power off failures and system failures. In order to pinpoint the
problem, the reset log contains the reset cause.
