Tip Tips are suggestions about how you can perform a task more easily or more efficiently. Tip: Setting the logging parameter to “off” or “minimal” will improve your system’s processing performance, but it will make debugging very difficult in the event of a system crash. During system integration, you can set logging to “full” to ease debugging. After you have finished testing, set logging to “minimal” to improve performance. vi UnityOne Modular Fiber/Copper ZPHA Installation Guide V
