Moxa Managed Ethernet Switch (UI_2.0_FW_5.x) User Manual
Auto backup of event log to prevent overwrite
This f unction is designed to maintain a long-term record of the switch’s log files. Moxa Ethernet switches are
capable of saving 1000 event log entries. When the 1000-entry storage limit is reached, the switch will
delete the oldest saved event log. The ABC-02 can be used to back up these event logs. When the number
of switch log entries reaches 1000, the ABC-02 will save the oldest 100 entries f rom the switch.
Enable the Auto backup of event log to prevent overwrite, and then click Apply. Af ter that, when the
ABC-02 is plugged into the switch, the event logs will always be saved to the ABC-02 automatically when
the number of switch log entries reaches 1000. Each backup action saves the oldest 100 logs to the ABC-02
in one f ile, with the f ilename generated by the current system time as MMDDHHmm.ini. The f ile is saved
to the His_log f older.
NOTE
MM=month, DD=day, HH=hour, mm=minutes, f rom the system time.
