Setting DHCP on a 5100/5018 Call Server
During power up a 5100/5018 Call Server will search for a DHCP Server, if not found, its internal DHCP
server functionality will be enabled and will give out an address range of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.250. If
the Call Server finds a DHCP Server the DHCP facility will be disabled.
To change this default configuration the following changes can be made.
1 In Manager, select Modules
2 From the Modules List select the required
Call Server.
3 The Module Details form for that Call Server will
be displayed.
4 At the top of the form select the Call Server
page. The Call Server Details form will appear.
5 From the DHCP Server Mode list the following
options can be selected:
Enable - The Call Server will act as the DHCP
server using the IP Address range specified in
the DHCP Start Address and DHCP End Address
fields.
Please note: If another DHCP Server is detected
on the network and the Call Server is rebooted it
will continue to use 192.168.0.1 or it's previously
configured IP Address and disable its own DHCP
Server which means it will no longer give out IP
addresses.
If the DHCP Server mode is re-enabled having
previously been disabled, the Call Server will
firstly check whether another DHCP Server exists
on the network. Only if it does not receive an IP address will it become a DHCP Server.
Disable – DHCP is disabled; the Call Server will use the IP address entered in the IP Address field
within the General page. (This is the recommended option if DHCP is being provided from another
vendor.)
Client – the Call Server will act as the DHCP client obtaining an IP address from a DHCP Server on
the network.
