EVICES
To install a device such as a 3Com Telephone or Attendant Console on a
VCX system, you configure the device with these items:
The IP Address of the Primary VCX Call Processor
■
The IP Address of the Alternate VCX Call Processor
■
(Optionally) the VLAN ID of the Virtual LAN on which you want the
■
device to operate
You can provide this configuration information through Option 184 on
your DHCP server or you can manually configure each device. For
configuration instructions for option 184, see
Option 184 on a Windows 2000 DHCP
chapter assume that option 184 has not been configured.
You can also edit certain configuration files on the VCX system to include
all device configuration information.
To install a 3Com Basic Telephone or a 3Com Business Telephone, use the
Local User Interface (LUI) on the telephone. The LUI allows you to enter
configuration information by pressing buttons. You can use the

The easiest way to install any 3Com telephone assumes that the
telephone obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. If your network does
not provide IP addresses through a DHCP server, you must manually
configure the IP address of the telephone.
