Server Administration

Software Checklist

Please make sure that you have purchased and/or own licenses to install and use the DHCP server and TFTP server software.

It is possible to install both the DHCP server and the TFTP server on the same machine.

WARNING:

The circuitry in the 4600 Series IP Telephones reserves IP addresses of the form 192.168.2.x for internal communications. The telephone(s) will not properly use addresses you specify if they are of that form.

Required Network Information

DHCP is the control point where an enterprise controls its IP Telephones. Before administering DHCP and TFTP, complete the information in Table 4-2below to ensure that you have the necessary information regarding your network. There may be more than one Gateway, TFTP server, subnet mask and CLAN in your configuration. You will need a copy of this table for each DHCP server.

Release 1.5 of the 4600 Series Telephones supports the ability to specify a list of IP addresses for a gateway/router, TFTP server, and DEFINITY® CLAN board(s), as explained in Chapter 2, IP Address Lists and Station Number Portability Each list may contain up to 127 total ASCII characters, with IP addresses separated by commas with no intervening spaces.

When specifying IP addresses for the TFTP server or call server, you can use either dotted decimal format ("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") or DNS names to identify the address(es). If you use DNS, note that the system value DOMAIN will be appended to the IP addresses you specify. If DOMAIN is null, the DNS names must be fully qualified, in accordance with IETF RFCs 1034 and 1035. For more specific information about DNS, see DHCP Generic Setup (page 4-7)and DNS Addressing (page 4-24).
