Pre-Installation Checklist for Static Addressing

Pre-Installation Checklist for Static Addressing
Before performing static addressing, verify that all the requirements listed in the Verify These
Network Requirements section of the Pre-Installation Checklist are met. You do not have to
consider item 4.
on page 11, as it refers to the DHCP server. In addition, you must have the
values for the following parameters. Failure to do so can cause data entry errors that prevent
the telephone from working. Such errors can also have a negative impact on your network. Print
copies of this checklist for each subnet.
Static Addressing Installation
The usual way to assign IP addresses to IP telephones is the automatic method described in
Dynamic Addressing Process
on page 17. There might be times, however, when manual
assignment of IP addresses is desired.
CAUTION:
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.
1. The IP address of the media server.
2. The transport layer port number of the address of the Management Complex
(media server/gatekeeper). Although this can be a value between 0 and 65535,
the default value is 1719. Do not change this value unless it conflicts with an
existing port assignment.
3. The IP address of the gateway/router.
4. The IP netmask.
5. The IP address of the HTTP server.
