7.3 Administrator ­ Event Log (auditing) Event Log is a detailed report of critical activities stored in the device memory. The internal clock of the KVM is used to print out timestamps for each event in the log. The internal battery of the KVM ensures the clock is always active and allows for accurate time recordings for all events. The initial date is inputted into each KVM manually at the time of manufacturing. The following steps provide instructions for dumping the log by identified and authenticated administrator.  Select option 3 from the menu on your screen and press Enter.  The last 10 events will be presented in the log as shown in Figure 5 below:
