Making the Fault Relay Operational

146
The system message log is useful mostly to Multi-Media technical support personnel.
Placing a checkmark in the Log System Messages box sets the Multi-Media unit to log all
commands received in a system.log file, stored on the unit. The system.log file stores the
10,000 most recent entries. It will not get larger over time, the older entries are overwritten
by new ones.
How to obtain a copy of the system.log file is explained in
Other Multi-Media Logs
Take care not to confuse System.log messages of commands with the logs of alarms or
events. For the alarm log, see
on page 203.

Eye™ Multi-Media Digital Video Recorder Installation
Note The Enable Status Pulse option is only available on the 16-channel Rapid
Eye units.
