The Nortel Networks i2004 Internet Telephone can act as a DHCP client. As
part of the startup routine, the i2004 Internet Telephone can request automatic
network and local configuration parameters from a DHCP server. The DHCP
server responds to the request and supplies information.
Network configuration parameter requests include:
• IP address of the i2004 Internet Telephone
• Subnet mask for the i2004 Internet Telephone IP address
• Default gateway for the i2004 Internet Telephone LAN segment
Local configuration parameter requests include:
• A command (UNIStim Hello)
• IP address of the ITG Line 2.0 node Active Leader. The ITG Line 2.0
card acts as a bootstrap server to download the most recent version of the
i2004 Internet Telephone firmware, if required. The Active Leader gives
the IP address of the Terminal Proxy Server (TPS) through which the
i2004 Internet Telephone registers with the system.
• Number of retries for the primary and secondary bootstrap server.
Note: Be sure to read "DHCP server engineering guidelines" of
Meridian Internet Telephony Gateway: Installation and Operation
(553-3001-204) before performing an automatic first-time installation.
Follow the steps in Procedure 4 to automatically configure the i2004 Internet
telephone.
