Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Capture
Note: Verify thedate and timebefore using the logging utilities to ensure meaningful data.
The Network Capture panels provide configuration options for logging utilities.
Two types of logging are configurable:
Netlogis a Windows CE utility that monitors network traffic. Netlog creates a .CAP file that can be read using Microsoft Windows Network Monitor or any compatible tool that supports .CAP files.
NDISLogmonitors the NDIS interface between the Summit radio and the NDIS driver. This utility creates a .TXT log file.
Factory Default Settings
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.

Power
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power The MX7 power mode timers are cumulative.
The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired.
When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the power scheme timers never place the device in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the device is idle).
The Display > Backlight setting is synchronized with the User Idle setting in the Schemes tab in the Power control panel.
Factory Default Settings Battery Tab
