Chapter 4: Configuring your MVPGSM

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 GSM web browser interface for configuration and control of MultiVOIP GSM 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 administrator via email (which requires using SMTP logging).
