Description
The SoundStructure VoIP Interface will look for Option number
66 (string type) in the response received from the DHCP server.
The DHCP server should send address information in Option 66
that matches one of the formats described for Server Address.
If the DHCP server sends nothing, the following scenarios are
possible:
•
If a boot server value is stored in flash memory and the value
is not 0.0.0.0, then the value stored in flash is used.
•
Otherwise the SoundStructure VoIP Interface sends out a
DHCP INFORM query.
If a single alternate DHCP server responds, this is functionally
equivalent to the scenario where the primary DHCP server
responds with a valid boot server value.
If no alternate DHCP server responds, the INFORM query
process will retry and eventually time out.
The SoundStructure VoIP Interface will first use the custom
option if present or use Option 66 if the custom option is not
present.
If the DHCP server sends nothing, the following scenarios are
possible:
•
If a boot server value is stored in flash memory and the value
is not 0.0.0.0, then the value stored in flash is used.
•
Otherwise the SoundStructure VoIP Interface sends out a
DHCP INFORM query.
If a single alternate DHCP server responds, this is functionally
equivalent to the scenario where the primary DHCP server
responds with a valid boot server value.
If no alternate DHCP server responds, the INFORM query
process will retry and eventually time out.
When the boot server parameter option is set to Custom, this
parameter specifies the DHCP option number in which the
SoundStructure VoIP Interface will look for its boot server.
When the Boot Server parameter is set to Custom, this
parameter specifies the type of DHCP option in which the
SoundStructure VoIP Interface will look for its boot server. The IP
Address must specify the boot server.
The string must match one of the formats described for server
address.
