46 4600 Series IP Telephone Release 2.2 LAN Administrator Guide
General information about administering DHCP servers is covered in DHCP and File
Servers on page 47, and more specifically, DHCP on page 49. General information about
administering TFTP servers is covered in DHCP and File Servers
, and more specifically,
TFTP
on page 62. General information about administering HTTP servers is covered in DHCP
and File Servers, and more specifically, HTTP. Once you are familiar with that material, you can
administer telephone options as described in Administering Options for the 4600 Series IP
Telephones on page 80.
Note:
Note: If a given parameter is administered in multiple places, the last server to provide
the parameter has precedence. The precedence is:
- manual administration,
- DHCP,
- TFTP/HTTP,
- the media server, and finally,
- FTP backup files (if administered and if permitted).
Any settings the IP telephone receives from FTP backup files, or in their absence, the
media server, overwrite any previous settings, including manual settings. The only
exception to this sequence is in the case of VLAN IDs. In the case of VLAN IDs, the
usual sequence applies through TFTP or HTTP as appropriate. If the VLAN ID after
TFTP or HTTP is not zero, any VLAN ID from the media server is ignored.
