Event Histories

The Netopia Router records certain 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 ISDN or leased line.

Note: Netopia Router’s built-in battery backup prevents loss of
event history from a shut down or reset.

The Router’s event histories are structured to display most recent
events first, and to make it easy to distinguish error messages from
informational messages. Error messages are prefixed with an
asterisk.

To go to the Event Histories screen, select Event Histories in the
Statistics, Utilities, Tests screen.
