Depending on administration, the DHCP server provides the following information to the 9600

Series IP Telephones:

• An IP address of the 9600 Series IP Telephone

• An IP address of the Avaya call server

• An IP address of the HTTP or HTTPS file server

• The subnet mask

• An IP address of the router

• A DNS Server IP address

Administer the LAN so each 9600 Series IP deskphone can reach a DHCP server that contains

the IP addresses and subnet mask.

The 9600 Series IP Deskphone cannot function without an IP address. Using the IP address reuse

capability, the phone can reuse the previous IP address and parameter settings even if the DHCP

server is temporarily unavailable. A user can manually assign a different IP address to an IP

deskphone. When the DHCP server finally returns, the 9600 Series IP Deskphone does not

search for a DHCP server unless the static IP data is unassigned manually. In addition, manual

entry of IP data is an error-prone process.

Ensure that:

• A minimum of two DHCP servers are available for reliability.

• A DHCP server is available when the IP deskphone restarts.

• A DHCP server is available at remote sites if WAN failures isolate IP deskphones from the

central site DHCP servers.

The file server provides the 9600 Series IP Deskphone with a script file and, if appropriate, new or

updated application software.

In addition, you can edit the settings file to customize phone parameters for your specific

environment. For more information, see Administering options for IP phones on page 70.
