4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide

Dynamic Addressing Process

Before beginning this process, you must have an extension number for the IP Telephone and the DEFINITY security code (password) for that extension.

The following description of the process of installing the IP telephones assumes that the process is executed successfully. Only an initial installation (out of the box) is described. For errors that may be encountered during the process and the messages displayed, see Chapter 4, ‘‘Troubleshooting Guidelines.’’

When you plug the IP Telephone set into the Ethernet wall jack, the following process takes place.

If the application has already been downloaded, the whole process takes approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the phone is plugged in. For an initial installation (including download of the application) the process may take 5 - 10 minutes. The duration is based on LAN loading, how many phones are being installed at once, and similar factors.

1.The telephone activates the Ethernet line interface, the secondary Ethernet jack, and dial pad input (to allow the invocation of procedures) as soon as possible after power-up or a reset.

The telephone detects and displays the speed of the Ethernet interface in Mbps (that is, 10 or 100). The message No Ethernet is displayed until the software determines whether the interface is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

The Ethernet speed indicated is the LAN interface speed for both the telephone and any attached PC.

2.The IP telephone sends a request to the DHCP server and invokes the DHCP process. The following message is displayed:

DHCP: s secs, * to program

where s is the number of seconds that have elapsed since DHCP was invoked.

3.The DHCP server provides IP addresses for the following:

The IP Telephone

The TFTP server

The TN799 Control-LAN (CLAN) circuit pack on the DEFINITY server

4.The IP Telephone connects to the TFTP server and looks for an upgrade script file.

5.The TFTP server sends an upgrade script, telling the phone what it is.
