Nortel Media Gateway 3200 User Manual page 230

In the left pane of the screen is the client list. By clicking on a client in this list, the following
parameters for this client are displayed on the right side of the screen:
Client MAC - This is the MAC address of the client. When the user edits the MAC, a
new client is added, with the same parameters as the previous client. The client can
be disabled by un-checking the check box on the right side of the Client MAC. This
causes the BootP server not to reply to the BootP request. The client can be enabled
by checking the check box. Click on the 'Apply' button each time the client enable
check box is checked or unchecked.
Client Name - A text field for entering the client description.
Template - The template to be used for this client. When a template is selected, its
parameters override all of the previous parameters.
IP, Subnet, Gateway - Normal IP parameters.
TFTP Server IP - The IP address of the TFTP Server.
Boot File, ini File - The files to request from the TFTP server.
Note the seven check boxes to the right of the parameters. These enable the user to
assign only the fields from the template, which have adjacent marked checkboxes. The rest
can be unique for each client. When the field is assigned a value from the selected
template, the field is grayed (and unmodifiable).
To save them after performing changes, click Apply. By clicking Apply & Reset, the
program saves the changes to the database, performs a remote Reset to the client by
adding the client's MAC to the ARP table, and then sends out a reset command. This
option works only if "ARP Manipulation Enabled" checkbox in the "Preferences" screen
is checked (in the figure, 'Preferences Screen' on page 228) otherwise an error message
appears. It requires the user to have administrator privileges. The remote reset is
supported for software in this version and up.
When adding a new client, click Add Client. A client dialog box with blank parameters is
displayed. After filling out the parameters, click Apply. The client is added.
To find out if there is another BootP server on the net that contains a client with the same
MAC address, click Test Selected Clients. In the log screen, view the IP addresses of all
BootP servers that contain the same MAC address in the status 'Listed At'. In normal
operation, BootP client MAC address should be listed only on a single BootP server. If the
MAC address is listed in multiple BootP servers, it must be removed from other BootP
servers.
