Exclusions
Most RF environments contain frequencies where it is not desirable to operate wireless equipment, such as those reserved for local broadcasts, public safety, or other users.
Exclusions can be entered into the Spectrum Manager to prevent it from including these frequencies in its calculation of a compatible frequency list.

Event Log
The event log records the actions of the Spectrum Manager and other devices it manages, as listed below. The log stores up to 150 events. The start of an event record is
indicated with an asterisk (*). The most recent events appear at the top of the log. Use the control wheel to scroll through the list of events. When the storage limit is reached,
the oldest events are overwritten.
Note: A power cycle or firmware update will clear the event log.
