Purpose
DHCP dynamically allocates and assigns
an IP address to network devices.
DHCP enables you to connect a base
station into the network and have the base
station become operational without the
need to manually assign an IP address or
to configure additional network
parameters.
HTTP is the standard protocol for transfer
of information and movement of
documents across the Internet and the web.
HTTPS is a combination of the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS
protocol to provide encryption and secure
identification of servers.
IP is a messaging protocol that addresses
and sends packets across the network.
NTP is a networking protocol for clock
synchronization between computer systems
over packet-switched, variable-latency data
networks.
RTP is a standard protocol for transporting
real-time data, such as interactive voice
and video, over data networks.
RTCP works in conjunction with RTP to
provide QoS data (such as jitter, latency,
and round trip delay) on RTP streams.

Usage Notes
DHCP is enabled by default. If disabled,
you must manually configure the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway on each
base station locally.
We recommend that you use the DHCP
custom option 160, 159.
The base station uses HTTP for XML
services, provisioning, upgrade, and for
troubleshooting purposes.
Web applications with both HTTP and
HTTPS support have two URLs
configured. Base stations that support
HTTPS choose the HTTPS URL.
A lock icon is displayed to the user if the
connection to the service is via HTTPS.
To communicate with IP, network devices
must have an assigned IP address, subnet,
and gateway.
IP addresses, subnets, and gateways
identifications are automatically assigned
if you are using the base station with
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). If you are not using DHCP, you
must manually assign these properties to
each base station locally.
The base station uses NTP to communicate
with the time server.
The base station uses the RTP protocol to
send and receive real-time voice traffic
from other devices and gateways.
RTCP is disabled by default.
