Zoom 5341J cable modem - how to access event log

I have a Zoom 5341J.  I believe these particular URLs are only valid with this model.

For the Zoom 5341G or 5341H try 192.168.100.1/rf_index.asp (I'm not sure what information is available on that page).

To log into the Zoom 5341J modem and see information use the URL:
http://192.168.100.1

You should then be prompted to log in.
Enter your credentials if you set them otherwise the defaults are username: admin and password: password

Once logged in you should be at a page addressed like this:
http://192.168.100.1/RgConnect.asp

Now put this URL in your browser's address bar and hit enter:
http://192.168.100.1/RgEventLog.asp

I've had it take me back to the login screen and then the RgConnect.asp page before.  I just put the URL for RgEventLog.asp in again and it will work.

You should then be able to see logging information.  It should look something like this:
