Note
By default, DHCP is enabled on your phone. Before you can
manually configure the network parameters, you must disable DHCP
after connecting your phone to a power supply.
Configuring Network Parameters via a DHCP Server
If you are using DHCP to configure the network parameters, configure the
following DHCP options on your DHCP server before you connect your Cisco SIP
IP phone:
dhcp option #50 (IP address)
dhcp option #1 (IP subnet mask)
dhcp option #3 (Default IP gateway)
dhcp option #15 (Domain name)
dhcp option #6 (DNS server IP address)
dhcp option #66 (TFTP server IP address)
Manually Configuring the Network Parameters
If you are not using DCHP to configure your network parameters, you must
manually configure them.
Before You Begin
Connect your phone as described in the “Connecting the Phone” section on
page 2-16.
Unlock configuration mode as described in the “Unlocking Configuration
Mode” section on page 3-2. By default, the network parameters are locked to
ensure that end-users cannot modify settings that might affect their network
connectivity.
Review the guidelines on using the Cisco SIP IP phone menus documented in
the “Using the Cisco SIP IP Phone Menu Interface” section on page 2-21.
