Chapter 4: Configuring your VOIP
Logs/Traces
The Logs/Traces screen lets you choose how the VOIP administrator will receive log reports about the MultiVOIP’s performance and the phone call traffic that is passing through it. Log reports can be received in one of three ways:
•in the MultiVOIP program (interface),
•via email (SMTP), or
•at the MultiVoipManager remote VOIP system management program (SNMP).
Figure 4-22: Logs and Filters screens
If you enable console messages, you can customize the types of messages to be included/excluded in log reports by clicking on the Filters button and using the Console Messages Filter Settings screen. If you use the logging function, select the logging option that applies to your VOIP system design. If you intend to use a SysLog Server program for logging, click in that Enable check box. The common SysLog logical port number is 514. If you intend to use the MultiVOIP web browser interface for configuration and control of MultiVOIP units, be aware that the web browser interface does not support logs directly. However, when the web browser interface is used, log files can still be sent to the VOIP administrator via email (which requires using the SMTP logging option).
