6.1
Configuration
When VoIP Speakers are provisioned, the VoIP Speaker Primary
Quantum IP Address setting must always be set to the Primary
Quantum Node’s IP Address. After that, the VoIP Speaker can
be added to any Quantum Node in the network, regardless of
node type (e.g. Primary, Secondary or Normal).
6.2
DHCP Operation
6.2.1
Configuring IP Address for VoIP Speakers Using DHCP
The DHCP server must be configured to always provide the same IP Address to the VoIP Speaker.
This is usually accomplished by mapping the device MAC Address to a permanent IP Address.
If the DHCP server is not configured to provide the same IP Address, and if the VoIP Speaker is
assigned a different address than the address it had while configuring it with Quantum
Commander, the VoIP Speaker will not be available to the Quantum system. (To be available,
it must receive the same address from the DHCP server, or be reconfigured).
6.2.2
Default IP Address Assignment
When a newly installed VoIP Speaker starts, it will attempt for one minute to get an IP Address
from a DHCP server. If the speaker does not receive an IP Address from a DHCP server within
one minute, it will temporarily configure its IP Address to the default 10.16.2.1, to allow
configuration of the speaker at this known default IP address. It will operate in this mode for a
maximum of 15 minutes, and then reboot to make another attempt to receive an IP Address
from a DHCP server.
6.2.3
Using a Previously Assigned IP Address
If a fully configured VoIP Speaker that uses DHCP reboots and does not receive an IP Address
from the DHCP server within one minute, it will automatically use the IP Address that was
previously provided via DHCP. The VoIP Speaker will only do this if it has been configured to
use DHCP and is configured with a valid Primary Quantum IP Address and has been assigned
an Architecture Number. This method will ensure that VoIP Speakers configured to use DHCP
will still operate while in the temporary absence of a DHCP server.
