Using Profile Utilities

This chapter shows you how to read Profile logs with WinTail, monitor an RS-
422 port with ProLink, access a Profile system from a remote PC with
PortServer, and how to manually stop and start the PDR Access Control service.

Viewing Profile Logs

You can view Profile system logs with the graphical log viewer, WinTail. This
log viewer allows you to see the end of a log file. To view any of the Profile
system log files:

1. Double-click on the Profile Log shortcut icon on the Windows NT desktop.

By default, the WinTail application views profile.log. WinTail automatically
checks log files for updates every two seconds.
