Event histories

The Netopia R7200 records certain relevant occurrences in event histories. Event histories are useful for diagnosing problems because they list what happened before, during, and after a problem occurs. You can view two different event histories: one for the router’s system and one for the WAN. The Netopia R7200’s built-in battery backup prevents loss of event history from a shutdown or reset.

The router’s event histories are structured to display the most recent events first, and to make it easy to distinguish error messages from informational messages. Error messages are prefixed with an asterisk. Both the WAN Event History and Device Event History retain records of the 128 most recent events.

In the Statistics & Logs screen, select WAN Event History. The WAN Event History screen appears.
