Configuring the IP Phone boot parameters

The IP Phone boot parameters are configured during telephone installation. The following configuration modes are available:

•Manual configuration

—All of the IP Phone's boot parameters are statically configured at the IP Phone.

—See Procedure 107: "Entering IP Telephone boot parameters using manual configuration" on page 425.

•Partial Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode

—Works with standard DHCP server. The DHCP server automatically provides the IP Phone with an IP address; the remainder of the IP Phone's boot parameters are statically configured at the IP Phone.

—See Procedure 108: "Entering IP Phone boot parameters using full DHCP parameters" on page 428.

•Full DHCP mode

—Requires special configuration of the DHCP server to recognize the IP Phone. The DHCP server provides all boot parameters to the IP Phone, including IP address and server address.

—See Procedure 109: "Entering IP Phone boot parameters using partial DHCP parameters" on page 430.

For configuration of the DHCP server, see Converging the Data Network with VoIP (553-3001-160).
