Microsoft™ Dhcp/Bootp Server; Configuration Parameters And Files - AudioCodes Mediant 1000 User Manual

6.3.5 Microsoft™ DHCP/BootP Server
The Mediant 1000 can be configured with a third party BootP server (besides AudioCodes'
BootP/TFTP Server), including the Microsoft™ DHCP server, to provide the Mediant 1000
with an IP address and other initial parameter configurations.
To configure the Microsoft™ Windows™ NT DHCP Server to configure an IP address to
BootP clients, add a reservation for each BootP client.
For information on how to add a reservation, view the "Managing Client Reservations Help"
topic in the DHCP Manager.
The reservation builds an association between MAC address (12 digits), provided in
accompanying product documentation) and the IP address. Windows™ NT Server
provides the IP address based on the Mediant 1000 MAC address in the BootP request
frame.
To configure the Microsoft™ Windows™ NT DHCP server to provide Boot File information
to BootP clients, edit the BootP Table in the DHCP Manager. The BootP Table is located in
the Server Properties dialog, accessed from the Server menu. For information on editing
the BootP Table, view the "BootP Table" Help topic in the DHCP Manager.
The following parameters must be specified:
Local IP address - The Mediant 1000's IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway IP address - Default Gateway IP address
BootP File name - Optional (refer to the following Note)
Note:

Configuration Parameters and Files

The Mediant 1000's configuration is stored in two file groups.
The configuration file - an initialization (ini) text file containing configuration
parameters of the Mediant 1000.
The auxilliary files - dat files containing the raw data used for various tasks such as
Call Progress Tones, Voice Prompts, logo image, etc.
These files contain factory-pre-configured parameter defaults when supplied with the
Mediant 1000 and are stored in the Mediant 1000's non-volatile memory. The Mediant
1000 is started up initially with this default configuration. Subsequently, these files can be
modified and reloaded using any of the following methods:
via BootP/TFTP during the startup process (refer to ''Using BootP/DHCP'' on page
and the Appendix, ''BootP/TFTP Server'' on page 197).
via the Embedded Web Server (refer to ''Embedded Web Server'' on page 133).
User's Manual
The BootP File field should normally not be used. The field is only used for
software upgrade (refer to ''Upgrading Mediant 1000 Software'' on page
78).
