Telnet Page 7 (System Log)

Telnet Page 7 displays a real-time log of various diagnostic, regular and exceptional events in the system. The list of all events and their meaning is contained in Router Manual Appendix A.

In a quiet system log output may be every 10 to 30 seconds but in a busy system the log may generate too much traffic to be viewed from the screen. In this case create a log file using the procedure defined here ('logging Telnet to a disk file') and use this to view the events.

In certain cases the log may output too much traffic to change the page. If this is the case the following procedure should be used:

• Cover the Telnet page with another Window leaving only the Telnet Window Bar visisble.
• Click the Telnet Widow bar to give it focus
• Enter any aother page number
• Immediately click the other widow that is obscuring the Telnet
• When you click back to Telnet the Page should have changed

Each entry has the following generic format:

TaskID=0x0751 CP=20 Time Stamp(00:19:31-03-00236)
AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
AA AA                                           BB

Key

TaskID is the internal task number of the router and is used to generate a unique identifier when looking up the log e.g. when looking for the above entry the value 0751 together with the CP value should be used to obtain the unique value.

CP is the unique Calling Point which together with the TaskId provides a unique entry that may may be found for the entry.

Time Stamp is the time in Hours : Minutes : Seconds - 100 microsecond increments - time within 100 microseconds interval (each number represents approximately 2 milliseconds).

AA is the hex value of the displayed entry. The value and meaning of the entry is contained in the entry defined by the TaskID and the CP value in Appendix A.

BB is the character values of the displayed entry. The value and meaning of the entry is contained in the entry defined by the TaskID and the CP value in Appendix A. As far as possible the text indicates the type of log event but due to memory constraints messages can be a little cryptic!
