Static Addressing Installation

The usual way to assign IP addresses to IP telephones is the automatic method described in Dynamic Addressing Process. There might be times, however, when manual assignment of IP addresses is desired.

CAUTION: Static addressing is necessary when a DHCP server is unavailable.

Because of the increased opportunities for text entry errors associated with static addressing, we very strongly recommend that a DHCP server be installed and static addressing avoided.

Use the following procedure to invoke manual address information programming.

1. Start manual address programming by performing one of the following steps:
1. During normal DHCP processing, press the * key while “* to program“ displays during the DHCP process.

or

1. While the telephone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the faceplate of the telephone:

Mute 2 3 3 7 # (Mute A D D R #)

NOTE: Press the Mute button momentarily. Do not press this button while pressing other keys/buttons.

The telephone displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the current IP address system value of the telephone.

2. Enter the telephone’s IP address followed by the # button.

The telephone displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the current system value of the media server/gatekeeper IP address.

3. Enter the Gatekeeper IP address followed by the # button.

The telephone displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the current system value of the gateway/router IP address.

4. Enter the Gateway router IP address followed by the # button.

The telephone displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the current system value of the IP netmask.

5. Enter the IP netmask followed by the # button.

The telephone displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the current system value of the HTTP server IP address.

6. Enter the HTTP Server IP address followed by the # button.

The telephone displays one of the following texts, depending on the current setting of the system parameter NVL2Q (802.1Q):

7. Press * to change 802.1Q to the next sequential value. For example, if the current value is 0 (auto) pressing * changes it to 1 (off) and if the current value is 2 (on), pressing * changes it to 0 (auto).

The display is updated to show the current status of 802.1Q.

8. Press the # button to continue the procedure without changing the displayed status of 802.1Q

The telephone displays the following text:

where dddd is the current system value of the 802.1 VLAN ID.

9. Enter a valid value between 0 and 4094 for the new value of the 802.1 VLAN ID.

The telephone displays the following message:

where ddd is the current system value of the DHCPOFFER wait period.

10. Enter a valid value between 0 and 999 for the new value of the DHCPOFFER wait period.

The telephone displays:

11. Press the # button to save the new values you entered.

The telephone displays:

Once the new values are stored, the telephone is reset.

If a new boot program is downloaded from the HTTP server after you enter static addressing information, you must reenter your static addressing information.
