device.syslog.prependMac

Enabled, Disabled

If enabled, the phone’s MAC address is prepended 
to the log message sent to the syslog server.

The parameters for this feature should be put in separate configuration files to 
simplify maintenance. Do not add them to existing configuration files (such as 
sip.cfg). Create a new configuration file for parameters that should apply to all 
phones. 

Polycom recommends that you test the new configuration files on two phones 
before initializing all phones.
