Note
This log file contains the complete time-stamped communication between the CS141 and UPS connected to it: The CS141 asks and the
UPS responds accordingly. Since these entries are time stamped, this communication may be compared to external events - this
valuable information may help finding the cause of an incident.
The telemetry data file is placed in real time inside the memory of the web browser. By closing this window, the trace data file is

Network-Scan
As special feature the CS141 provides an integrated
network scanner to examine the LAN for issues and
errors. The network scan provides extensive
information for evaluation about the network the
CS141 is connected to. All data packets are
collected in a log file. After network scan, the network log can be downloaded for evaluation.
Privacy Policy:
Since the network scan records all traffic in this network segment the CS141 is connected to, an evaluation with a corresponding
network tool can be used to find error. Furthermore, deep insights into the network traffic are available, e.g. to log the user behavior.
Technicians should inform the respective responsible person before use.
To perform a network scan, click on the Trace button in the Network line. The tracer will confirm tracing activity with a short fade in.
The Tracer logs packet data within the LAN segment in real-time and stores it locally on the CS141. The tracer will quit if there are two
conditions:
1. A reboot (expected / unexpected)
