Setting Client Parameters - 3Com VCX v7111 User Manual

Setting Client Parameters

Client parameters are listed on the right side of the Client Configuration Window.
Client MAC: The Client MAC is used by BootP to identify the VoIP gateway. The MAC
address for the VoIP gateway is printed on a label located on the VoIP gateway
hardware. Enter the Ethernet MAC address for the VoIP gateway in this field. Click the
box to the right of this field to enable this particular client in the BootP tool (if the client is
disabled, no replies are sent to BootP requests).
When the MAC address of an existing client is edited, a new client is added, with the
same parameters as the previous client.
Client Name: Enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to remember
which VoIP gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could see the location
of the gateway.
Template: Click the pull down arrow if you wish to use one of the templates that you
configured. This applies the parameters from that template to the remaining fields.
Parameter values that are applied by the template are indicated by a check mark in the
box to the right of that parameter. Uncheck this box if you want to enter a different value.
If templates are not used, the box to the right of the parameters is colored gray and is not
selectable.
IP: Enter the IP address you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. Use the normal dotted
decimal format.
Subnet: Enter the subnet mask you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. Use the normal
dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is incorrect,
the VoIP gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is
applied.
Gateway: Enter the IP address for the data network gateway used on this subnet that
you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. The data network gateway is a device, such as a
router, that is used in the data network to interface this subnet to the rest of the
enterprise network.
TFTP Server IP: This field contains the IP address of the TFTP utility that is used for file
transfer of software and initialization files to the gateway. When creating a new client,
this field is populated with the IP address used by the BootP Tool. If a different TFTP
utility is to be used, change the IP address in this field to the IP address used by the
other utility.
Boot File: This field specifies the file name for the software (cmp) file that is loaded by
the TFTP utility to the VoIP gateway after the VoIP gateway receives the BootReply
message. The actual software file is located in the TFTP utility directory that is specified
in the BootP Preferences window. The software file can be followed by command line
switches. For information on available command line switches, see
Switches.
