Required Network Information
Before you administer DHCP and HTTP, and TLS, as applicable, complete the information in
Table 3
. If you have more than one Gateway, HTTP/TLS server, subnetwork mask, and
Gatekeeper in your configuration, complete
Table 3
for each DHCP server.
The 1600 Series IP Telephones support specifying a list of IP addresses for a gateway/router,
HTTP/HTTPS server, and Avaya Media Server Gatekeeper(s). Each list can contain up to 255
total ASCII characters, with IP addresses separated by commas with no intervening spaces.
Depending on the specific DHCP application, only 127 characters might be supported.
When specifying IP addresses for the file server or media server, use either dotted decimal
format (“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”) or DNS names. If you use DNS, the system value DOMAIN is
appended to the IP addresses you specify. If DOMAIN is null, the DNS names must be fully
qualified, in accordance with IETF RFCs 1034 and 1035. For more information about DNS, see
DHCP Generic Setup
on page 38 and
DNS Addressing
on page 70.
The file server file path is the “root” directory used for all transfers by the server. All files are
uploaded to or downloaded from this default directory. In configurations where the upgrade
script and application files are in the default directory, do not use item 6 in
Table 3
.
As the LAN or System Administrator, you are also responsible for:
●
Administering the DHCP server as described in
Chapter 5: Server Administration
.
●
Editing the configuration file on the applicable HTTP or HTTPS file server, as covered in
1600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application Files
.
