4. If you are configuring the network settings on the phone, you
can set up an IP address for the phone by either using DHCP or
manually entering an IP address.
Using DHCP—Verify that DHCP is enabled with the IVR. You
can set an alternate TFTP by entering the IP address for the
TFTP when prompted by the IVR.
Note Consult with the network administrator to determine
whether you need to assign an alternative TFTP server
instead of using the TFTP server assigned by DHCP.
Without DHCP—Verify that DHCP is disabled with the IVR.
You must then configure the IP address, subnet mask, TFTP
server, and default router locally by using the phone’s IVR.

Settings” section on page 3-9.
