Activity-log messages

troubleshooting. It contains information, warning, and error messages that can

 

help resolve problems. It also provides access to the embedded Web server event

 

log for devices.

 

Two logs can be viewed:

 

The Configuration Utility Log tab shows general log messages for DSS.

 

In the Device Configuration section of the Configuration Utility, a second Log

 

tab shows log messages that are specific to the selected device.

 

See Use the Activity Log in the Configuration Utility on page 27 and Using the log

 

for an individual device on page 28 for more information. In addition, see the Help

 

file for the Configuration Utility for a list of messages and recommended actions.

 

 

Windows Event Viewer messages

The Event Viewer shows a record of the startup procedure for the DSS that is

 

running on the Windows server.

 

 

Control-panel messages
