In order to capture debug and syslog messages from your SPA1x2 and SPA232D phones you need to enable debug and or syslog and either have a syslog server on your network or Wireshark running. [Wireshark will display debug/syslog messages with the "syslog" output filter].
Turn on debugging and or syslog messaging on your phone as follows
[You don't need both debug and syslog, debug is sufficient if you are capturing data for support]:
- Determine the IP address of your syslog server (for this example, assume a syslog server IP address of 192.168.0.200)
Configure your phone by directing your browser to http://<IP_address_of_Phone>/
Example: http://192.168.0.100/ if the phone's IP address is 192.168.0.100- Log in as administrator
- Enable Debug Messages by editing the following fields:
i. Phone's web-ui > Voice tab > System > Debug Server: <IP address of debug server>
Example: 192.168.0.200
[if you are capturing with Wireshark, you do not need to use a valid syslog server's IP address, any "fake" address can be used, example 10.0.0.1]ii. Phone's web-ui > Voice tab > System > Debug Level: 3
iii. Phone's web-ui > Voice tab > Line N > SIP Debug Option: full
Enable Syslog Messages by editing the following fields [this is not needed if you have enabled Debug]:
Phone's web-ui > Voice tab > System > Syslog Server: <IP address of syslog server>
Example: 192.168.0.200 [addresses of syslog and debug server can be same]
The Phone will reboot and send all debug / syslog messages to the specified IP address of the syslog server.
[Don't forget to make sure that your syslog server is running and that its IP address is what you configured on the phone.]
