SW Ver: R0.15x00.0.825.4

Does someone have any useful information on how to interpret this report? I have been unsuccessful in finding anything that is illuminating..."Seize" just sounds bad to me, but all of our trunks have entries under this heading so I suspect it's not.

Thanks for any and all help!
