2.2.1.1 DHCP or Manual TCP/IP Setup

Basic network settings can be derived from DHCP or entered manually using the
phone's LCD-based user interface. Polycom recommends using DHCP where possi-
ble to eliminate repetitive manual data entry.
The following table shows the manually entered networking parameters that may be
overridden by parameters obtained from a DHCP server:
Parameter
IP address
subnet mask
IP gateway
boot server address
SNTP server address
SNTP GMT offset
DNS server IP address
alternate DNS server IP
address
DNS domain
VLAN ID
a. Can be obtained from a connected Ethernet switch if the switch supports CDP.

2.2.1.2 Provisioning File Transfer

The bootROM on the phone performs the provisioning functions of downloading the
bootROM, the <Ethernet address>.cfg file, and the SIP application and uploading log
files. The SIP application performs the provisioning functions of downloading all
other configuration files, uploading and downloading the configuration override file
and user directory, downloading the dictionary and uploading log files.
