Mitel 6800i Series Administrator's Manual page 165

CONFIGURATION SERVER DOWNLOAD PRECEDENCE
An Administrator can set the phone's download precedence to ignore DHCP, (only during the
boot when the remote configuration server is contacted) and use the following precedence
instead:
1. Configuration URI,
2. DHCP, and then
3. Direct configuration.
To configure the download precedence, you use the option value (-1) as the value for the "dhcp
config option override" parameter in the configuration files. Setting this parameter to "-1"
causes all DHCP configuration options to be ignored.
