Powering on the TA7104i
This chapter describes the initial provisioning of the TA7104i.
IP Address Discovery or Configuration
4.1
This section describes how to contact the TA7104i's management interface to start with unit
configuration.
Note that the TA7104i IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
Once the physical connection is complete and the TA7104i is powered up, you must first find
out the IP address the TA7104i is using. The TA7104i's IP address can be set either
dynamically or statically. The default behavior of the TA7104i is to try to obtain a dynamic IP
address through a DHCP server.
Dynamic IPv4 Address Discovery
The default configuration is set so that the unit can be directly plugged into a network and
provisioned with a DHCP server. Aastra strongly recommends to set your DHCP server before
installing the unit on the network. This way, you know the IP address associated with a
particular unit.
Caution: If you set a TA7104i with a static eth1-4 IPv4 address in a subnet (for instance,
192.168.200.1) and the eth5 interface receives a dynamic IP address in the same subnet (via a
DHCP server or PPP peer), you will not be able to contact the unit via the WAN. You must be
careful that a dynamic IP address does not overlap a static IP subnet that is already configured.
Note that the current default value of the TA7104i is 192.168.0.10.
See the Software Configuration Guide for more details on how to set an external DHCP server.
Caution: If you are experiencing problems, or if you do not want to use a DHCP server and use
a static IP address instead, perform a Partial Reset procedure, as explained in Partial Reset.
DHCP servers generally allocate a range of IP addresses for use on a network and reserve IP
addresses for specific devices using a unique identifier for each device. The TA7104i unique
identifier is its media access control (MAC) address. You can locate the MAC address as
follows:
•
It is printed on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
•
It is stored in the System Information page of the web interface.
If you have not reserved an IP address, you can discover which IP address has been assigned
to the TA7012i by either:
•
Taking one of the telephones connected to the TA7104i and dialing *#*0 on the keypad.
The current IP address of the TA7104i (static or DHCP) will be stated.
•
Consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to
the TA7104i.
