Configuring debug through the Administration menu

Last Updated : Mar 17, 2025 |

About this task

Activate the debug mode and configure the phone debugging options.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the BRURI parameter in the 46xxsettings.txt file is set to an HTTP address. The phone uses this server to send reports. The BRURI parameter configuration does not affect other debugging settings.

  • Ensure that the phone administration password is set to a non-default value for all the debugging options to be configurable. For the default Administration password, a few debugging options are read-only.

Procedure

  1. Press Main Menu > Administration.
  2. In the Access code field, enter the admin menu password.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. Select Debug.

    The phone displays the following debug options:

    • Serial port mode

    • Port mirroring

    • Phone report

    • SSH access

    • SSH fingerprint

    • Clear SSH lockout

    • Service mode control

    • Service mode record

  5. Scroll to the required option and press the corresponding key to configure.
  6. Press Save.
