Debugging the System 
Enabling/Disabling System Debugging 
The device provides various debugging functions. For the majority of protocols and features supported, 
the system provides corresponding debugging information to help users diagnose errors. 
The following two switches control the display of debugging information: 
z  Protocol debugging switch, which controls protocol-specific debugging information 
z  Screen output switch, which controls whether to display the debugging information on a certain 
screen. 
Figure 2-1 illustrates the relationship between the protocol debugging switch and the screen output 
switch. Assume that the device can output debugging information to module 1, 2 and 3. Only when both 
are turned on can debugging information be output on a terminal.
