Use Syslog To Log Messages - Cisco 6800 Series Provisioning Manual

TFTP Resync
Procedure
Step 1 Within a LAN environment, connect a PC and a phone to a hub, switch, or small router.
Step 2 On the PC, install and activate a TFTP server.
Step 3 Use a text editor to create a configuration profile that sets the value for GPP_A to 12345678 as shown in the
example.
<flat-profile>
<GPP_A> 12345678
</GPP_A>
</flat-profile>
Step 4 Save the profile with the name basic.txt in the root directory of the TFTP server.
You can verify that the TFTP server is properly configured: request the basic.txt file by using a TFTP
client other than the phone. Preferably, use a TFTP client that is running on a separate host from the provisioning
server.
Step 5
Open the PC web browser on the admin/advanced configuration page. For example, if the IP address of the
phone is 192.168.1.100:
http://192.168.1.100/admin/advanced
Step 6 Select the Provisioning tab, and inspect the values of the general purpose parameters GPP_A through GPP_P.
These should be empty.
Step 7 Resync the test phone to the basic.txt configuration profile by opening the resync URL in a web browser
window.
If the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.200, the command should be similar to the following example:
http://192.168.1.100/admin/resync?tftp://192.168.1.200/basic.txt
When the phone receives this command, the device at address 192.168.1.100 requests the file basic.txt
from the TFTP server at IP address 192.168.1.200. The phone then parses the downloaded file and updates
the GPP_A parameter with the value 12345678.
Step 8
Verify that the parameter was correctly updated: Refresh the admin/advanced page on the PC web browser
and select the Provisioning tab on that page.
The GPP_A parameter should now contain the value 12345678.

Use Syslog to Log Messages

The phone sends a syslog message to the designated syslog server when the device is about to resync to a
provisioning server and after the resync has either completed or failed. This server is identified in the web
server administration (Admin Login > advanced > Voice > System, Syslog Server parameter). Configure
the syslog server IP address into the device and observe the messages that are generated during the remaining
procedures.
