    On the administration web server, System tab, set <Debug Server> to the IP address and port number of your syslog server. Note that this address and port number has to be reachable from the Linksys IP phone. Set <Debug level> to 3, but do not change the value of the <syslog server> parameter.
  • Page 23: Sip-Nat Interoperation

    SIP-NAT Interoperation In the case of SIP, the addresses where messages/data should be sent to a Linksys IP phone system are embedded in the SIP messages sent by the device. If the Linksys IP phone system is located behind a NAT device, the private IP address assigned to it is not usable for communications with the SIP entities outside the private network.
  • Page 24 Using the Interactive Voice Response Interface, page 2-16 Note If the Linksys IP phone is supplied or sponsored by an Internet Telephone Service Provider (ITSP), certain network and service settings may be preconfigured. Depending on the configuration policy, access by an end user to specific configuration settings may be restricted or blocked.

    A sub-sequence of keys (possibly empty) can be automatically replaced with a different sub-sequence using an angle bracket notation: < dialed-subsequence : transmitted-subsequence >.

    Why do the line status lights on my Linksys IP phone occasionally flash red? A flashing red line status light on the Linksys IP phone indicates a local LAN issue. If statistics on the switch show a high number of collisions on the ports connected to the Linksys IP phone, you can reduce the speed on the ports to 10mb half duplex to eliminate the collision problems.
