Disable/Enable Event Logging

Use the following procedure to enable or disable logging of system events.

1. While the telephone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the faceplate of the telephone:

Mute 5 6 4 # (Mute L O G #)

NOTE: Press the Mute button momentarily. Do not press this button while pressing other keys/buttons. The 4630/4630SW IP Telephones and the 4690 IP Conference Telephone do not have a dedicated Hold button. For all other 4600 Series IP Telephones, pressing the Hold button instead of the Mute button also works.

2. After entry of the command sequence, all telephones except the 4601 display the following text, depending on the current value of the system parameter NVLOGSTAT:

where status is the type of logging indicated by the NVLOGSTAT value, defined as:

• Status is disabled when NVLOGSTAT = 0
• Status is emergencies when NVLOGSTAT = 1
• Status is alerts when NVLOGSTAT = 2
• Status is critical when NVLOGSTAT = 3
• Status is errors when NVLOGSTAT = 4
• Status is warnings when NVLOGSTAT = 5
• Status is notices when NVLOGSTAT = 6
• Status is information when NVLOGSTAT = 7
• Status is debug when NVLOGSTAT = 8
3. To change the logging status, press *.

Depending on the current value, the next sequential valid NVLOGSTAT value is selected and displayed as the status. For example, if the current value is alerts (2), pressing * changes the value to 3 (critical). If the current value is debug (8), pressing * changes the value to 0 (disabled).

If a value different from the current NVLOGSTAT value is entered, all telephones except the 4601 display the following text left-justified at the top of the display:

4. Press the * button to terminate the procedure, or the # button to save the new value. If you press the # button, all telephones except the 4601 display the following text:

The telephone saves the new value.
