POWERING ON THE TA7102
This chapter describes the initial provisioning of the TA7102.
4.1
IP ADDRESS DISCOVERY OR CONFIGURATION
This section describes how to contact the TA7102's management interface to start with unit configuration.
Note that the TA7102 IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
Once the physical connection is complete and the TA7102 is powered up, you must first find out the IP
address the TA7102 is using. The TA7102's IP address can be set either dynamically or statically. The
default behavior of the TA7102 is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address through a DHCP server.
Dynamic IPv4 Address Discovery
The default configuration is set so that the unit can be directly plugged into a network and provisioned
with a DHCP server. Mitel strongly recommends to set your DHCP server before installing the unit on the
network. This way, you know the IP address associated with a particular unit.
Caution:
If you set a TA7102 with a static
eth1-4
IPv4 address in a subnet (for instance,
192.168.200.1) and the
eth5
interface receives a dynamic IP address in the same subnet (via a DHCP
server or PPP peer), you will not be able to contact the unit via the WAN. You must be careful that a
dynamic IP address does not overlap a static IP subnet that is already configured. Note that the current
default value of the TA7102 is 192.168.0.10.
See the
Software Configuration Guide
for more details on how to set an external DHCP server.
Caution:
If you are experiencing problems, or if you do not want to use a DHCP server and use a static
IP address instead, perform a Partial Reset procedure, as explained in
Partial Reset
.
DHCP servers generally allocate a range of IP addresses for use on a network and reserve IP addresses
for specific devices using a unique identifier for each device. The TA7102 unique identifier is its media
access control (MAC) address. You can locate the MAC address as follows:
It is printed on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.
It is stored in the
System Information
page of the web interface.
If you have not reserved an IP address, you can discover which IP address has been assigned to the
TA7012 by either:
Taking one of the telephones connected to the TA7102 and dialing
*#*0
on the keypad.
The current IP address of the TA7102 (static or DHCP) will be stated.
Consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to the
TA7102.
