Using UniTel Voice Diagnostics

If you have contacted UniTel Voice Customer Support in order to troubleshoot a problem, you may have been asked to generate a diagnostic log report and send it to UniTel Voice.

You may be asked to generate a packet capture, which capture the network traffic on your computer, in addition to a log report. Packet capture is not supported over network changes, such as changing from a wired network to a Wi-Fi network. When you generate a packet capture, you also create a log report.

Note: While packet capturing is in progress, all network traffic on your computer is captured. All other applications that generate network traffic should be shut down or suspended before starting packet capture to avoid complex filtering of network traffic during analysis and to minimize privacy concerns.

1. In the UniTel Voice Softphone, go to Help > Troubleshooting> Support.

2. On the Support tab, change the log level to Debug by moving the slider.

3. Close the Troubleshooting window.

4. Restart UniTel Voice.
