Configuring The Soundstructure Voip Interface; Setting The Ip Address Of The Soundstructure Voip Interface - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Configuring the SoundStructure VoIP Interface

Once the SoundStructure VoIP Interface is installed in the SoundStructure system, you need to configure
the SoundStructure VoIP Interface for your call management environment with the following steps:
1 Set the IP address of the SoundStructure VoIP Interface. An IP address is required to access to the
Web Configuration Utility.
2 Set the Provisioning Server settings. A provisioning server can be used to store the configuration
parameters of the SoundStructure VoIP Interface and for upgrading the firmware on the
SoundStructure VoIP Interface.
If a provisioning server is not being used, the Web Configuration Tool must be used.
3 Configure the Call Server IP address so the SoundStructure VoIP Interface knows where to try to
register its lines.
4 Register the line(s). The line registration information configures the extensions and authentication
credentials required by the call server.
Details of these steps are in the following sections.

Setting the IP address of the SoundStructure VoIP Interface

This section describes the default IP address settings of the SoundStructure VoIP Interface and how to set
the IP address.
Understanding the Default Network Settings
The factory default values for the network settings of the SoundStructure VoIP Interface are:
● DHCP enabled which causes the interface to get an IP address from a DHCP server.
● Boot server configuration options are set to Custom+Option 66
● VLAN set to dynamic
If there is no DHCP server on the network, the SoundStructure VoIP Interface will not get an IP address. In
this case, you will need to manually configure the network address by connecting to the SoundStructure
system with SoundStructure Studio and navigating to the wiring page and selecting Edit Network Settings.
See the section Setting an IP address with SoundStructure Studio
When the SoundStructure VoIP Interface is reset via a power cycle or reboot, the following events occur:
1 If a static IP address is not set, the SoundStructure VoIP Interface will request an IP address from
the DHCP server.
2 Assuming the SoundStructure VoIP Interface gets an IP address, it will request provisioning server
information if the DHCP options are set to the default value.
3 If a provisioning server is found, the interface will attempt to log into the provisioning server with the
user-supplied credentials.
