Step 3   The system displays the following information:


Tips In hybrid mode, the MWI status options display as separate settings for the Lucent and Cisco CallManager systems.


Displaying Current Configuration

You can quickly display all the settings you have configured on the DPA 7630.

To display the configured settings, perform these steps:


Step 1   From the main screen, select Diagnostics.

Step 2   Select Show configuration.


Working with the Event Log

The event log enables you to capture errors, warnings, and other informational messages from the DPA 7630. Typically, you use these options only when troubleshooting a complex issue, perhaps while working with a Cisco technical representative.

However, using the default settings and these options, you can resolve many errors on your own:

Identifying a Syslog Server

You can identify a syslog server to automatically capture and receive event logs for remote network management by performing these steps:


Step 1   From the main screen, select Diagnostics.

Step 2   Select Event log.

Step 3   Select Syslog server.

Step 4   Enter the IP address of the network management system you want to designate as the syslog server.


Selecting Logging Levels and Logged Ports

You can set the DPA 7630 to log progressively more detail (information, errors, or warnings), or you can restrict logging to specific ports.

Usually, configure these options when working with a Cisco technical representative because the nature of the problem determines the amount of information required to resolve it.

To set logging levels or select ports, perform these steps:


Step 1   From the main screen, select Diagnostics.

Step 2   Select Event log.

Step 3   Select Set logging levels or Set logged ports.

Step 4   Work with a Cisco technical representative to determine the best options to select and enter.


Displaying Recent Messages

You can obtain a list of recent messages from the DPA 7630 to help you resolve some configuration issues.

To display recent messages, perform these steps:


Step 1   From the main screen, select Diagnostics.

Step 2   Select Event log.

Step 3   Select View recent to display recent messages.

Step 4   See "Resolving Error Messages" section for information on resolving these errors.


Tips You can also select View all to display all errors, or View new to display new errors only.


Resolving Error Messages

You can use the event log to identify errors on the DPA 7630. Use Table 5-5 to interpret and resolve these errors.
