Polycom 4300T manual Configure the Dhcp Server

User Guide V2IU 4300T Converged Network Appliance

Timing

Display and set the clock timing source for the T1/E1 interface. The timing can be either derived from the network (External) or provided to the T1 interface by the V2IU (Internal). With a carrier-provided T1, the timing is usually derived from the network (External, the default setting).

Warning Mismatched timing modes can result in WAN connectivity but with intermittent data loss.

Payload Loopback

Display and set the loopback setting. During T1 line testing the local interface can be set to Loopback to allow the network provider to verify connectivity and line quality. For normal operation the setting should always be No Loopback (the default setting).

Configure the DHCP Server

The 4300T can act as a DHCP server granting IP addresses to PCs, workstations, servers or voice devices (IP phones, IADs or softphones) connected to its LAN interfaces. DHCP is a protocol that enables IP devices to obtain temporary or permanent IP addresses (out of a pool) from centrally administered servers.

The user can configure blocks of IP addresses, a default gateway, DNS servers, NTP server address, Time offset from NTP value, WINS address and TFTP/FTP server name that can be served to the requesting IP devices.
