The IP Softphone 2050 uses the PC's IP address, net mask, and router
address. When the IP Softphone 2050 is launched and DHCP is enabled, it
does a DHCP request on its own. It looks only for custom values such as the
Server 1 address. The Nortel application-specific strings are entered into the
DHCP tables as determined by the IP Softphone 2050 values in the format
defined for the specific DHCP server.
If the DHCP server is changed or rebooted, the general values (such as the
PC's IP address) are refreshed only when the PC reboots. The DHCP server
is responsible for tracking IP address leases. If the DHCP extended
parameters (for example, Server 1 address) are modified, the IP Softphone
2050 application must be restarted.
