This article explains how to enable the internal traces that an Ascom phone is capable of providing for debug purposes.
While troubleshooting VoWIFI issues, it is sometimes necessary to view the issue from the phone's perspective. The internal traces are an appropriate starting point.
- To enable tracing, open WinPDM and edit the template that is currently used in the network.
- Go to Device > Log and modify the Value field of the Syslog parameter to be On.
- Enter the IP address of the syslog server.
- When finished, re-deploy the template on the phones.
A trace depicting a successful connection of the phone looks like this:
