Obtaining logs from your PDM
Scope
This document applies only to the original PDM versions of the 25-Seven Program Delay Manager (PDM). If you are looking for instructions to download logs from a PDM II, please click here.
Description
The customer asks, "where are the logs are located on the PDM, and how do I download them?"
Downloading the logs
To download the logs from your PDM, you will need to know the IP Address of your unit and the password.
The user name is always: pdmweb
The default password is: pdmwebBxxx, where xxx is the module ID of your unit. For example, if the Module ID were B649 then the default password (from the factory) would be "pdmwebB649"
A hidden web page downloads the logs. To that end, your PDM must connect to a network where you can access it by a Web browser. We are assuming that your unit is already connected to a network, so we will not cover those steps here.
To access these logs;
- Using a web browser, navigate to this link - http://192.168.2.94/downloadsystemlog.html
You will need to replace the IP address in the link with whatever the IP address of your PDM is. In this example, the IP Address of the PDM is 192.168.2.94.
- Enter your user name and password.
- You will be prompted to download and save a file that ends in .bin. Save this file somewhere on your computer.
- Proceed as instructed with the downloaded file.
If you are attempting to email this file, your email system or the receiver email system may not like the .bin extension. We suggest that you rename the extension to something other than .bin before sending it. Rename it to anything that is not "executable," like .bi_ or .b_n.
