Chapter 6: Server Administration
Software Requirements
Ensure that you own licenses to use the DHCP, HTTP, and HTTPS server software.
Note:
Note:
You can install the DHCP and HTTP server software on the same machine.

CAUTION:
CAUTION:
The firmware in the 9600 Series IP Deskphones reserves IP Addresses of the
form 192.168.2.x for internal communications. The telephone(s) improperly use
addresses you specify if they are of that form.
Administering the DHCP and File Servers
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) minimizes maintenance for a 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephone network by removing the need to individually assign and maintain IP Addresses and
other parameters for each deskphone on the network.
Depending on administration, the DHCP server provides the following information to the 9600
Series SIP IP Telephones:
●
IP Address of the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone(s)
●
IP Address of the Avaya call server
●
IP Address of the HTTP or HTTPS file server
●
IP Address of the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server (using Option 42)
●
The subnet mask
●
IP Address of the router
●
DNS Server IP Address
Administer the LAN so each SIP deskphone can access a DHCP server that contains the IP
Addresses and subnet mask.
The IP telephone cannot function without an IP Address. The IP Address reuse capability allows
the phone to reuse its 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 telephone.
When the DHCP server finally returns, the telephone never looks for a DHCP server unless the
