for a DHCP server unless the static IP data is unassigned manually. In addition, manual entry of IP
data is an error-prone process.
Ensure that:
• A minimum of two DHCP servers are available for reliability.
• A DHCP server is available when the IP deskphone restarts.
• A DHCP server is available at remote sites if WAN failures isolate IP deskphones from the
central site DHCP servers.
The file server provides the 9600 Series IP Telephone with a script file and, if appropriate, new or

HTTP Redirect feature

HTTP redirection allows you to configure and use multiple servers to download files to IP phones
without the need to configure different values of HTTPSRVR (or TLSSRVR) for different groups of
phones.
You do not any special configuration on the phone. The phone responds automatically to HTTP
redirection requests from the HTTP server.
Using this feature you can:
• Spread the load across multiple servers. This feature allows local file servers to be used to
avoid bottlenecks caused by low bandwidth WAN links to remote locations.
• Use this capability for firmware upgrades, backup or restore and agent greeting download.
The feature supports the following HTTP Redirection response codes:
• 301 (Moved Permanently)
• 302 (Found)
• 303 (See Other)
• 307 (Moved Temporarily)
To be able to use this feature, you must configure the central file server to support HTTP
Redirection to an appropriate alternate server. See the
examples on configuring HTTP Redirection on IIS7 server.
