Access the panel log to review events in your system from the command center . The panel log file is very useful when troubleshooting events previously occuring in the control panel.
Reviewing past events may help you identify problems. Viewing events does not require any additional equipment since the information is displayed at your command center. Events are stored in the panel’s memory in order of occurrence and tagged with the date and time.
To view the event history, please perform the following steps:
