This function is designed to maintain a long-term record the switch log files. Moxa Ethernet switches are
capable of saving 1000 entries of event logs. When the 1000-entry storage limit is reached, the switch will

reach 1000, the ABC-02 will back up the earliest 100 entries of the switch.

ABC-02 is plugged into the switch, the event logs will always be saved to the ABC-02 automatically when switch
log entries reach 1000.Each backup will save the earliest 100 logs to ABC-02 in one single file. The file will
