Logs
The Logs record various types of activity on the TW100-BRF114U. This data is useful for
troubleshooting, but enabling all logs will generate a large amount of data and adversely affect
performance.
Since only a limited amount of log data can be stored in the TW100-BRF114U, log data can
also be E-mailed to your PC.
