The Syslog on the PhysioTel^TM MX2 and PhysioTel Digital CLC can be used to help DSI Technical Support diagnose problems with a Digital system.  The log is stored automatically stored on the MX2 and CLC, which can be downloaded and provided to DSI.

Notes

• If the IP address of the MX2/CLC to be accessed is not known, refer to the tech note Finding the IP Address of a Communication Link Controller (CLC) or MX2. The tech note can be requested by contacting DSI’s Technical Support.
• It may not seem like Firefox is doing anything while the download is being prepared. This is normal as it may take a few minutes for the download to begin.
• The download can take 30 minutes to an hour to complete; therefore, it may be easier to run the download overnight.
• DO NOT download the Syslog during data acquisition. Do not start while the download is in progress.
• If the issue encountered occurred within the past 72 hours, the download can usually be stopped after the file size reaches 10MB (approximately 5-10 minutes).
  
  To do this, go to the location on your hard drive where the file is being downloaded. 

1. In the download folder, you should see a file that ends in .tar.gz.part.
   For example if the file being downloaded is logs-DSICLC24.tar.gz, the file we’re interested in will be logs-DSICLC24.tar.gz.part.
   
   
   
   
2. Copy the .tar.gz.part file to your Desktop or other location on your hard drive.
3. You can now cancel the download.
4. Send the .tar.gz.part file to DSI.
