Assigning DHCP Server Options
Note:
Not relevant to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200.
This section provides you with information on basic network configuration of the Spectralink IP-
DECT Server 400/6500 and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One solution and the web based
Administration Page.
You can provide information about the static IP address of Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500
and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One in the DHCP server through DHCP options. When
defining the IP address of the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server in the DHCP server, all
media resources and Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations are configured automatically.
The media resources and Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations will include a Vendor Class Identifier
option (60) with the value KIRK.IP6000 and a request for the Vendor Specific Information option
(43) in the initial DHCP Discover request.
In the DHCP offer message, it will then expect the address of the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-
DECT Server location in the Vendor Specific Information option (43), sub-option 43 encapsulated as
a string type parameter.

rect DHCP option for a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500:
