When specifying IP Addresses for the file 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. For
more information about DNS, see
DHCP Generic Setup on page 46 and About DNS
addressing on page 117.
Required network information before installing a DHCP server
As the LAN or System Administrator, you are also responsible for:
● Administering the DHCP server as described in Chapter 5: Administering DHCP and
HTTP servers.

Choosing the right application file and upgrade script file.
Other network considerations
Enabling SNMP
Avaya Deskphone SIP release 6.3.1 is fully compatible with SNMPv2c and with Structure of
Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2). The Deskphones respond correctly to queries from
entities that comply with earlier versions of SNMP, such as SNMPv1. The Deskphones respond
to queries directed either at the MIB-II or the read-only Custom MIB. Read-only means that the
values therein cannot be changed externally by means of network management tools.
You can restrict the IP Addresses from which the deskphone accepts SNMP queries with the
SNMPADD parameter. You can also customize your community string with the SNMPSTRING
1. Gateway (router) IP Address(es)
2. HTTP/HTTPS file server IP Address(es), port number (if
different from the default), and directory path (if files are not
located in the root directory)
3. Subnetwork mask
4. HTTP server file path (HTTPDIR)
5. Telephone IP Address range
