Getting required log files from the system
Basic log capturing
Capturing the systems configuration and status information
it is useful to enter and capture the output of these to commands when raising a support case:
•
xStatus
•
xConfiguration
The xStatus provides information on the current status of the system, e.g. is it registered or in a call etc,
and the xConfiguration will show all the configuration values set on the systems.
This information is obtained via the command line. To get this information:
•
Use an SSH client to login with the systems ip address (see "Appendix A - Other sources of
information" on page 31).
•
Enter username of admin.
•
Enter the password configured on the system – by default the password is blank.
•
You now have access to the command line interface. Type in:
• xStatus
• xConfiguration
NOTE
This produces a lot of text output. please ensure you capture All of this and forward it to support
as a text (.txt) file.
