Each time that you want to view the event log, you must choose how and
what you want displayed. The event log settings are not saved.

The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 46.

2. From the System Administration menu, type 8 to select Event Log.

The Event Log menu is shown in Figure 72 on page 231.

3. To determine the source for the events, type 2 to select Display Output

Displays events stored in nonvolatile memory, which stores no more
than 2,000 events. If the switch was recently reset or power cycled and
you want to view the events that occurred prior to the reset, select

Display Order and toggle between two options:
