Statistics & Logs
When you are troubleshooting your Netopia 4541/4542, the Statistics & Logs screens provide insight into the
recent event activities of the router.
From the Main Menu go to Statistics & Logs and select one of the options described in the sections below.
Event histories
The Netopia 4541/4542 records cer tain relevant occurrences in event histories. Event histories are useful for
diagnosing problems because they list what happened before, during, and after a problem occurs. You can view
two different event histories: one for the router’s system and one for the WAN. The Netopia 4541/4542’s
built-in batter y backup prevents loss of event histor y from a shutdown or reset.
The router’s event histories are structured to display the most recent events first, and to make it easy to
distinguish error messages from informational messages. Error messages are prefixed with an asterisk. Both
the WAN Event Histor y and Device Event Histor y retain records of the 128 most recent events.
In the Statistics & Logs screen, select WAN Event History or Device Event History.
