Chapter 5: Server Administration

Software Checklist

Ensure that you own licenses to use the DHCP, HTTP, and HTTPS server software.
Note:
You can install the DHCP and HTTP server software on the same machine.
Note:
!
CAUTION:
The firmware in the 9600 Series IP Deskphones reserves IP Addresses of the
CAUTION:
form 192.168.2.x for internal communications. The telephone(s) improperly use
addresses you specify if they are of that form.

DHCP and File Servers

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) minimizes maintenance for a 9600 Series IP
Telephone network by removing the need to individually assign and maintain IP Addresses and
other parameters for each IP telephone on the network.
Depending on administration, the DHCP server provides the following information to the 9600
Series IP Deskphones:
IP Address of the 9600 Series IP Telephone(s)
●
IP Address of the Avaya call server
●
IP Address of the HTTP or HTTPS file server
●
The subnet mask
●
IP Address of the router
●
DNS Server IP Address
●
Administer the LAN so each IP telephone can access a DHCP server that contains the IP
Addresses and subnet mask.
The IP telephone cannot function without an IP Address. The IP Address reuse capability allows
the phone to reuse its previous IP Address and parameter settings even if the DHCP server is
temporarily unavailable. A user can manually assign a different IP Address to an IP telephone.
When the DHCP server finally returns, the telephone never looks for a DHCP server unless the
static IP data is unassigned manually. In addition, manual entry of IP data is an error-prone
process.
