SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones Configuration and Administration (SIP)

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized protocol that enables clients to be dynamically assigned with various configuration parameters, such as an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other critical network configuration information. DHCP servers centrally manage such configuration data, and are configured by network administrators with settings that are appropriate for a given network environment. The handset will use the following DHCP options if DHCP use is enabled.

Static IP Allows you to manually set a fixed IP Address. If selected, the handset will prompt for the IP addresses for each configurable network component. When entering addresses, enter the digits only including leading zeroes, e.g. 192.168.001.002. No periods are required.

Regardless of the mode in which the handset is operating, the following components are required and must be configured as part of the SIP system:

Phone IP The IP address of the handset. This is automatically assigned if DHCP is used. If using Static IP configuration, you must obtain a unique IP Address for each handset from your network administrator.

TFTP Server IP The IP address of a TFTP server on your network, which holds software images for updating the handsets and contains the handset files. If this feature is configured (not set to

0.0.0.0or 255.255.255.255) with either Static IP configuration or using DHCP option 66 (TFTP server), or the boot server/next server (siaddr) field, the handset will check for newer software each time it is powered on or comes back into range of your network. This check takes only a second and ensures that all handsets in your network are kept up-to-date with the same version of software.
