Appendix I - DHCP Server Function Notice
There are two web pages related to the DHCP Server options. One is
DHCP Server Status
in the
DHCP Server
page (see section 4.0) and the other is the
DHCP Only for IP Phones
in the
User
Management
page (see section 2.2).
This appendix will illustrate the different combinations and results.
DHCP Server Status : Enabled / DHCP Only for IP Phones : Checked
-
The DHCP server in this Micro VoIP 200 will only provide IP address to IP Phones with MAC
addresses listed in the user management page, the Notebook/PC in the same network will not be
able to get any IP address from Micro VoIP 200. In this way, as depicted in
Figure 1
, the voice
packets from IP Phones will go through Micro VoIP 200 and data packets from Notebook/PC
will go through NAT/Router. This is the default setting.
-
Under this situation, if the APS selection is checked, the IP Phone will also get the
auto-configuration information (file name) from DHCP packets, and the IP Phone could be
installed automatically.

network of the Micro VoIP 200.
