Understanding the Default Network Settings
The factory default values for the network settings of the SoundStructure VoIP
Interface are:
• DHCP enabled which causes the interface to get an IP address from a
DHCP server.
• Boot server configuration options are set to Custom+Option 66
• VLAN set to dynamic
If there is no DHCP server on the network, the SoundStructure VoIP Interface
will not get an IP address. In this case, you will need to manually configure the
network address by connecting to the SoundStructure system with Sound-
Structure Studio and navigating to the wiring page and selecting Edit
Network Settings. See the section
Studio for more information.
When the SoundStructure VoIP Interface is reset via a power cycle or reboot,
the following events occur:
1. If a static IP address is not set, the SoundStructure VoIP Interface will
request an IP address from the DHCP server.
2. Assuming the SoundStructure VoIP Interface gets an IP address, it will
request provisioning server information if the DHCP options are set to
the default value.
3. If a provisioning server is found, the interface will attempt to log into the
provisioning server with the user-supplied credentials.
4. If the login to the provisioning server is successful, the appropriate
bootROM and software files will be loaded if the files on the server are
newer than the existing bootROM and software versions in the flash of
the interface, and the appropriate configuration parameters will be
loaded from the provisioning server.
5. If the interface is provisioned, it will use the SIP server registration
information and appropriate credentials found from the device
configuration parameters and register one or more lines with the call
management server.
6. If the system SIP lines register properly, the interface will receive its line
extension information and calls may be initiated.
Configuring the SoundStructure VoIP Interface Network Settings via the Web
Configuration Utility
You can manually configure the SoundStructure VoIP Interface's IP address
and provisioning settings with SoundStructure Studio or with the Web Con-
figuration Utility.
