on the phone.
Network Parameters That Cannot Be Modified
Parameters defined in the default configuration file override those specified in the phone-specific
configuration file.
If a phone-specific configuration file exists, the phone uses parameters entered locally until the next
reboot.
If you do not configure the phone using a TFTP server, you must configure the phone locally.
To configure the preferred codec and out-of-band DTMF parameters, press Change until the option
displays and then press Save.
If your system has been set up to have the phones retrieve the configuration file from a TFTP server,
you must use the server's configuration file to change the parameter value to a null value " " or to
"UNPROVISIONED." The phone uses the setting for that variable that it has stored in flash memory.
Description
Device type that is connected to port 2 of the phone. Valid values are
Hub/Switch and PC. Default is Hub/Switch.
Note If the value is PC, port 2 can be connected only to a PC. If you
are not sure about the connection, use the default value. Using
a value of PC and connecting port 2 to a switch could result in
spanning-tree loops and network confusion.
IP subnet mask used by the phone. A subnet mask partitions the IP
address into a network and a host identifier.
IP address of the TFTP server.
Description
IP address of the DHCP server from which the phone received its IP
address and additional network settings.
IP address of a dynamic DNS server.
IP address of a dynamic TFTP server.
Unique host name assigned to the phone.
Factory-assigned unique 48-bit hexadecimal MAC address of the
phone.
Unique identifier of the VLAN of which the phone is a member.
