6.3 Syslog Mode
A syslog server must be present on the network in order for the handset to send the
log messages and have them saved. The syslog server will be found with DHCP
option 7 if the handset is using DHCP. If static addresses are configured, the syslog
server’s IP address can be configured statically in the Admin menu.
If the syslog server address is blank (000.000.000.000 or 255.255.255.255)
or the handset is using DHCP and no option 7 is received from the
DHCP server, the handset will not send any syslog messages.
Admin menu options:
•
*Disabled
turns syslog off.
•
Errors
causes the handset to log only events that we consider to be an error (see
below).
•
Events
logs all errors plus also some other interesting events (see below).
•
Full
logs all the above plus a running stream of other quality information (see
below).
