100 Software requirements
You can install the DAPs in an IP environment without a DHCP server,
a TFTP server, or both. The IP environment can be a VLAN within the
company network where the IT manager does not allow a DHCP server.
This IP environment can also be a branch office where a few DAPs are
installed without a DHCP server.
If a DAP must operate without a DHCP server, a TFTP server, or both, the
DAP requires that the IP address and configuration data are stored in the
DAP on a semipermanent basis in FEPROM.
To store the IP address and configuration data on DAP, you must
temporarily connect a DHCP server and a TFTP server. The DHCP and
TFTP server can be on a stand alone PC with a network interface and a
DAP connected. The DHCP and TFTP server can also be on any other
computer in the network.
The DHCP server and TFTP server are required while you configure the
DAP, but are not required during normal operation.
ATTENTION
To store the data in the DAP, it is necessary that the DAP have a DHCP offer
with an Unlimited or Infinite lease. Ensure the DHCP server issues an Unlimited
or Infinite lease. The DHCP server with IP DECT Release 4 issues such a lease
by default.
If a Microsoft Windows DHCP server is configured, enable unlimited lease.
