WatchDog Task Feature

Release 2.3 provides a troubleshooting feature called the "WatchDog" task that monitors the
status of the phones and provides the ability to get stack traces from the last time the phone failed.
When the phone detects a failure (i.e., a crash), it automatically reboots. You can view a WatchDog
crash file using the Aastra Web UI at the path, Advanced Settings->Troubleshooting. You can
enable/disable the WatchDog task using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
