PC Card Logging
Note: This PC Card logging feature is only supported on SLC -02 part numbers.
Email Subject Input a subject text appropriate for your site. May have up to 128 characters.
The email subject line is pre-defined for each port with its port number. You can
use the email subject to inform the desired recipients of the problem on a certain
server or location (e.g., server location or other classification of your equipment).
This is helpful if the email message goes to the system administrator’s or service
technician's mobile or wireless device (e.g., text messaging by means of email).
Note: The character sequence%d anywhere in the email subject is replaced with
the device port number automatically.
Display Select to view either the beginning (head) or end (tail) of the log.
Number of Lines Input the number of lines from the head or tail of the log to display.
NFS File Logging Select the checkbox to log all data sent to the device port to one or more files on
an external NFS server. Disabled by default.

Note: This directory must be a directory exported from an NFS server mounted
on the SLC console manager. Specify the local directory path for the NFS mount.
