Configure these network settings on the phone by
choosing Settings > Network Configuration.
To enable DHCP:

TFTP Server to Yes
Enter IP address for TFTP Server 1

• Enter static IP address for phone
• Enter subnet mask
• Enter default router IP addresses

Using DHCP—The IP address is automatically
assigned, and the Cisco Unified

DHCP.
Without DHCP—You must configure the IP address,
TFTP server, subnet mask, domain name, and default
router locally on the phone.
