The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the IKVM-1000. To show the log list, click on “Event Log” on the “Maintenance” page.

Since the IKVM-1000's system memory is used to save all the information, the maximum number of possible log list entries is restricted to 1.000 events. Every entry that exceeds this limit overrides the oldest one, automatically.

When you change the NFS settings and press the button “Apply” , the NFS share will be mounted immediately. That means, the NFS share and the NFS server must be filled with valid sources or you will get an error message.
