The transceiver microprocessor monitors many operational parameters and logs them as various classes of “events.” If the event is one that affects performance, it is an “alarmed” event. There are also normal or routine events such as those marking the restarting of the system, implementation of parameter changes, and external access. Informational events are stored in temporary (RAM) memory that is lost in the absence of primary power, and alarms are stored in permanent memory (flash memory) until cleared by your request.
