NOTES
Maximum Number of Entries
Starting in software release K.13.xx, the maximum number of entries supported in the Event
Log is increased from 1000 to 2000 entries. Entries are listed in chronological order, from the
oldest to the most recent. Once the log has received 2000 entries, it discards the oldest
message each time a new message is received. The Event Log window contains 14 log entry
lines. You can scroll through it to view any part of the log.
