The data collected is saved into a single compressed file containing all the information from
each system component in its relative format (.txt, .xml, etc...). In case the disk is
malfunctioning, the file will be written to the RAM (involves only a small amount of
information where the RAM size is 1/2 a gigabyte). The zipped file (info.tgz) can be opened
with the following applications: WinRAR and WinZip. The entire zipped file is then sent to
Polycom’s Network Systems Division for analysis and troubleshooting.
