Ip Address - Avaya 3600 Series Installation Instructions Manual

4.4.3 IP Address

There are two modes in which the wireless phone can operate: DHCP enabled or static IP.
· Use DHCP *Default.
Will use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign an IP address each time the wireless phone is
turned on. If DHCP is enabled, the wireless phone also receives all other IP address configurations from the DHCP
server.
· Static IP
This option allows you to manually set fixed IP address for the phone and for the various network servers and
services it needs. If selected, the phone will prompt for the IP address of each of the configurable network
components. When entering addresses, enter the digits only, including leading zeroes. No periods are required.
The various IP addresses and related settings used are:
· Phone IP
Phone IP refers to the IP address of the wireless phone. This is automatically assigned if DHCP is used. If using
static IP configuration, you must obtain a unique IP address for each phone from your network administrator.
· Default Gateway and Subnet Mask
Default Gateway and Subnet Masks are used to identify subnets, when using a complex network which includes
routers. Both of these must be configured (not set to 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255) for the wireless phone to
contact any network components on a different subnet. They can be set using either static IP configuration or via
DHCP options 3 (default gateway) and 1 (subnet mask) respectively. Contact your network administrator for the
proper settings for your network.
· The wireless phones cannot "roam" across subnets, since they cannot change their IP address while operational.
Ensure that all your access points are attached to the same subnet for proper operation. The wireless phone can
change subnets if DHCP is enabled, and the wireless phone is powered off then back on when within range of
access points on the new subnet.
· Call Server IP and Call Server Port
This is the IP address of the H323 gatekeeper which in this case is the IP Office unit. The port to use is 1719. If
DHCP is being used, the phone will first check option 43, then option 176 and, if options 6 and 15 are also
enabled, it will use DNS lookup of server name set in the option 43 or 176 is name rather than IP address is used.
· AVPP IP
AVPP IP refers to the IP address of the AVPP. If using static IP configuration, this is simply the IP address of the
AVPP. The AVPP must be statically configured to have a permanent IP address.
· TFTP Server IP
TFTP Server refers to the IP address of a TFTP server on the network that holds software images for updating the
wireless phones. If this feature is configured (not set to 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255) with either static IP
configuration or using DHCP option 66 (TFTP server), or the Boot server/next server (siaddr) field, the wireless
phone will check for newer software each time it is powered on or comes back into range of your network. This
check takes only a second and ensures that all wireless phones in your network are kept up-to-date with the same
version of software.
· OAI Server IP
OAI Server refers to the IP address of the NetLink OAI gateway. If using static IP configuration, this is the IP
address of the NetLink OAI Gateway. If DHCP is being used, the wireless phone will try the DHCP option 152.
· Syslog Server IP
The IP address of the Syslog server. Use of Syslog itself is controlled through the Diagnostics | Syslog section of
the phone administration menu.
· Time Server IP
The address of the time server from which the phone should obtain the time that it displays when in standby
mode. The time displayed is further adjusted through the Phone Config | Time Zone and Phone Config | Daylight
Savings sections of the phone administration menus.
