Enable phone debugging
If you are experiencing phone problems that you cannot resolve, Cisco TAC can assist you. You will need to
turn debugging on for the phone, reproduce the problem, turn debugging off, and send the logs to TAC for
analysis.
When the Log Server cannot be reached, the phone stops sending debug messages.
Note
Because debugging captures detailed information, the communication traffic can slow down the phone, making
it less responsive. After you capture the logs, you should turn debugging off to ensure phone operation.
Contact Cisco TAC for more information and assistance.
