Software requirements
Configuration without DHCP or TFTP
Important:
DAP configuration without DHCP or TFTP requires DHCP and TFTP to be temporarily
available to program or reprogram DAPs.
You can perform DAP configuration without DHCP or TFTP only after you install the IP DECT
Configurator. For more information, see
You can install the DAPs in an IP environment without a DHCP server, a TFTP server, or
neither. 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 either, 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.
Important:
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 issues such a lease by default.
If a Microsoft Windows DHCP server is configured, enable Unlimited lease.
Enabling unlimited lease
1. Start the DHCP manager by clicking Start > Programs > Administrative Tools >
2. Right-click Scope, and select Properties.
3. Select Unlimited for Lease duration for DHCP clients.
