Event messages can be automatically displayed on the SmartCell 6A000 console. Use the set EventDisplay command to display events on the console as they occur:

Note Depending on the activity of your SmartCell 6A000, the appearance of events on the SmartCell 6A000 may be too frequent to use the SmartCell 6A000 console comfortably. It is recommended that you turn on the automatic display of events only when troubleshooting.
