· DHCP versus Static IP Installation
Though static IP installation of H.323 IP phones is possible, installation using DHCP is strongly recommended. The
use of DHCP eases both the installation process and future maintenance and administration. For static installations,
following a boot file upgrade, all static address settings are lost and must be re-entered.
· Network Assessment
High quality voice transmission across an IP network requires careful assessment of many factors. Therefore:
· We strongly recommend that IP phone installation is only done by installers with VoIP experience.
· The whole customer network must be assessed for its suitability for VoIP, before installation. Avaya may
refuse to support any installation where the results of a network assessment cannot be supplied. See
