Troubleshooting

This section describes tasks that a system administrator can perform on the IP phones for troubleshooting purposes. Using the Aastra Web UI, a system administrator can:

Assign an IP address and IP port to which log information will be transmitted

Filter the logs according to severity

Save the current local configuration file to a specified location

Save the current server configuration file to a specified location

Show task and stack status (including “Free Memory” and “Maximum Memory Block Size”) Aastra Technical Support can then use the information gathered to perform troubleshooting tasks.

Using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI, you can specify the location where log information will be stored for troubleshooting purposes.

In the configuration files, you use the following parameters to configure log settings:

log server ip - The IP address of the log server to which log information will be transmitted.

log server port - The IP port of the log server.

In the Aastra Web UI, you use the following parameters to configure log settings:

Module/Debug Level Settings

The Aastra IP phones provide blog module support that allows enhanced severity filtering of log calls sent as blog output.

The blog, as used on the IP phones, is a an online debugging tool that can be frequently updated and intended for techni- cal support analysis. Blogs are defined by their format: a series of entries posted to a single page in reverse-chronological order. The IP Phone blogs are separated into modules which allow you to log specific information for analyzing.

The following table identifies the blog modules you can set.
