Watch Dog
The IP phone provides a troubleshooting feature called “Watch Dog”, which helps you monitor the IP phone status and
provides the ability to get stack traces from the last time the IP phone failed. If the Watch Dog feature is enabled, the IP
phone will automatically reboot when it detects a fatal failure. This feature can be configured using the configuration
files or via web user interface.

Analyzing Configuration Files
Wrong configurations may have an impact on phone use. You can export configuration file(s) to check the current con-
figuration of the IP phone and troubleshoot if necessary. You can also import configuration files for a quick and easy
configuration.
We recommend you to edit the exported CFG file instead of the BIN file to change the phone’s current settings. The
config.bin file is an encrypted file. For more information on config.bin file, contact your Yealink reseller.
