Chapter 3: Terminal Menu Operation and Structure

LOGS MENU

The Logs menu contain logs displaying important information about the run- ning condition of the Express XL/XLT. The logs can be set to capture diagnos- tics of error conditions only by way of a log level. The levels are divided up as follows:

level 0 - Fatal event (causes reset) level 1 - Critical event

level 2 - Error event level 3 - Warning event level 4 - Notify event level 5 - Informational event level 6 - Debugging event

Figure 3-13 shows the Logs menu. The three logs available are listed after the figure.
