8.2Log and Trace

There are three logging facilities in the Prestige. The first is the error logs and trace records that are stored locally. The second is the UNIX syslog facility for message logging. The third is Call-Triggering Packet. It displays the packet that triggered dial-out call in a human-readable format. Equivalent information is available in Menu 24.1, but in hex format.
