Canon H323 manual Site Specific Option Number, Setting the Sson on an IP Phone

Static Administration Options: Resetting a Phone

4.6 Site Specific Option Number

The Site Specific Option Number (SSON) is used by IP phones to request information from a DHCP server that is specifically for the phones and not for other IP devices being supported by the DHCP server. This number must matched by a similarly numbered 'option' set on the DHCP server that define the various settings required by the phone.

The default SSON used by Avaya 4600 and 5600 Series IP phones is 176. The default SSON used by Avaya 1600 Series IP phones is 242. For phones being supported by IP Office DHCP, the SSON used by the phone must be matched by the site specific option numbers set in the IP Office configuration (System LAN Gatekeeper).

∙WARNING

Do not perform this if using static addressing. Only perform this procedure if using DHCP addressing and the DHCP option number has been changed from the normal default (176).
