Device Logs

Device Logs

The following device logs hyperlinks on a phone’s web page provide information you can use to help monitor and troubleshoot the phone. To access a device log area, access the web page for the phone as described in the “Accessing the Web Page for a Phone” section on page 8-2.

Console Logs—Includes hyperlinks to individual log files. The console log files include debug and error messages received on the phone.

Core Dumps—Includes hyperlinks to individual dump files. The core dump files include data from a phone crash.

Streaming Statistics

 

 

A Cisco Unified IP Phone can stream information to and from up to three devices simultaneously. A

 

 

phone streams information when it is on a a call or running a service that sends or receives audio or data.

 

 

The streaming statistics areas on a phone’s web page provide information about the streams. Most calls

 

 

use only one stream (Stream 1), but some calls use two or three stream. For example, a barged call uses

 

 

Stream 1 and Stream 2.

 

 

To display a Streaming Statistics area, access the web page for the phone as described in the “Accessing

 

 

the Web Page for a Phone” section on page 8-2, and then click the Stream 1, the Stream 2, the Stream

 

 

3, the Stream 4, or the Stream 5 hyperlink.

 

 

Table 8-5describes the items in the Streaming Statistics areas.
