Netlog
Use this control panel to configure the Netlog utility. By configuring Netlog using the control panel, Netlog remains running
across a warmboot. However, please note that:
l Netlog first stores data to a file named netlog0.cap, then netlog1.cap. Any time the current file reaches maximum size,
Netlog switches to the other file.
l If the log file is stored in the root directory, any previous data is lost and a new log file started after the warmboot.
l If the log file is stored in \System, all previous data is saved across the warmboot.
l If Netlog is enabled across the warmboot, a series of brief popups may be displayed during the boot cycle. No user
interaction is required.
