Dhcp Server Installation - Avaya IP Office 3600 Series Installation Manual

2.4 DHCP Server Installation

Use of a DHCP server is optional. The 3600 Series phones use DHCP by default, however they can also be individually
configured with a fixed IP address information. The IP Office control unit can be used as a DHCP server, however this is
only recommended for 5 or less H.323 IP phones. In other scenarios a separate DHCP server must be used.
The method and process for configuration will depend on the DHCP server software being used. Refer to the
manufacturers information for details.

¨ The IP address range and subnet mask the phones should use.
