Server; Using Dhcp; Using Ip Addresses And Dns Names - Nortel 2050 User Manual

Server

Use the Server dialog box to configure the connection between the IP Softphone 2050 and your
communications server. You can either use the default method (DHCP) or manually specify an IP
address.
To open the Server dialog box, select Server from the list in the left pane of the Settings window.

Using DHCP

With Automatic (DHCP) enabled, the IP Softphone 2050 reads server addresses from a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
To use the Automatic (DHCP) method
1 Select the Automatic (DHCP) check box.
2
From the Server list, select your server. You can choose from the Primary, Secondary, or
Application (XAS) servers.

Using IP addresses and DNS names

If your communications server does not support DHCP, then you must assign an IP address or
DNS name manually.
Note: To use DHCP, your Local Area Network (LAN) must include a
DCHP server. Contact your System Administrator to set up the server
with the correct IP address values.
Note: Primary and Secondary servers are assigned by DHCP.
Note: XAS support is reserved for future use.
