Logging Tab
The Logging tab provides a complete view of the logs of active switches. The logs provide you
with a system snapshot that you can use to view error and status messages. The logs provide
detailed status information that is especially useful to Avid Customer Support personnel for
monitoring system status during prolonged operations.
The following table describes the tools available on the Logging tab for switches:
Advanced Tab
The Advanced tab contains configuration utilities, installation logs, and diagnostic tools used by
Avid Customer Support personnel used to troubleshoot problems with the media network. You
can also use the Advanced tab to set the integrated switches back to the factory defaults. This
might be necessary to reset the IP addresses of system components if your Avid ISIS system
experiences network communication problems.

data. The tools should be used by Avid Customer Support personnel or under Avid
