AUTOMATING CONFIGURATION

Many installations use DHCP and configuration files to automate setting parameters for ADTRAN's IP
phones. This section describes how to use DHCP and configuration files for this purpose. When an IP 700
Series phone boots, it downloads one or more configuration files and begins operation using the
parameters received in the files. When more than one source exists for a parameter, it is important to
understand the order of precedence assigned to each source. Refer to
page 19 for more information.

DHCP Settings

DHCP can be used to provide the following settings to the IP phone:
• IP address (IpAddress)
• Subnet mask (SubNetMask)
• SNTP server IP address (SntpServer)
• Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset (GmtOffset)
• Router IP address (GatewayAddress)
• DNS address (DnsAddress)
• FTP/HTTP/HTTPS/TFTP server address (FtpServers, HttpServers, HttpsServers, TftpServers)
If the site-specific DHCP option is set, it provides an FTP/HTTP/HTTPS/TFTP server address from which
to retrieve configuration files. Setting these parameters is explained further in
The ADTRAN IP 700 Series phones use the site-specific DHCP option 157 to specify the value of the
following parameters:
• FtpServers
• FtpLogin
• FtpPassword
• HttpServers
• HttpLogin
• HttpPassword
• HttpsServers
• HttpsLogin
• HttpsPassword
• TftpServers
• Layer2Tagging
• VlanID
Each parameter must contain a <name>=<value> pair. For example:
FtpServers=192.168.0.10, FtpLogin=Toledo, FtpPassword=Ohio
