8.3 Syslog Mode

A syslog server must be present on the network in order for the handset to send the
log messages and have them saved. The syslog server will be found with DHCP
option 7 if the handset is using DHCP. If static addresses are configured, the syslog
server’s IP address can be configured statically in the Admin menu.



If the syslog server address is blank (000.000.000.000 or 255.255.255.255), or
the handset is using DHCP and no option 7 is received from the DHCP
server, the handset will not send any syslog messages.

Admin menu options:
