Configuring Network Settings
			Tip	Cisco recommends that you configure static IP information, which ensures that the Cisco Unified
				CallManager server obtains a fixed IP address. With this choice, Cisco Unified IP Phones can register
				with Cisco Unified CallManager when you plug the phones into the network.
				If you choose to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Cisco Technical Assistance Center
				(TAC) requires that you reserve an IP address for each server in the DHCP server scope. This action
				prevents the release or reassignment of IP addresses. If you do not reserve IP addresses through the
				DHCP server scope, the DHCP server may assign a different address to the server if the server is
				disconnected from, and then reconnected to, the network. To return the server to its original IP address,
				you must reprogram the IP addresses of the other devices on the network.
				For other information on configuring network settings, see the “What data must I provide to configure
				the server?” section on page 9.
				To configure network settings on the server, perform the following procedure:
				Procedure
		Step 1		On the desktop, right click My Network Connections and choose Properties.
		Step 2		Although the server comes with two Network Interface Cards (NIC), Cisco recommends that you
				configure the network settings on the first NIC. To configure network settings on the first NIC on the
				server, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP); then, click Properties.
