The transceiver microprocessor monitors many operational parameters and logs them as
various classes of “events.” If the event is one that affects performance, it is an “alarmed”
event. There are also normal or routine events such as those marking the restarting of the
system, implementation of parameter changes, and external access. Informational events are
stored in temporary (RAM) memory that is lost in the absence of primary power, and alarms
are stored in permanent memory (flash memory) until cleared by your request.
Level Description or Impact Storage
Informational Normal operating activities Flash Memory
Minor Does not affect radio operation RAM
Major Degraded radio performance RAM
But still capable of operation
Critical Prevents the radio from RAM
operating
These events are stored in the transceiver Event Log, and can be a valuable aid in
troubleshooting radio problems or detecting attempts to breach network security.
