Configuring the Nortel IP Phone boot parameters
The Nortel IP Phone boot parameters are configured during telephone
installation. The following configuration modes are available:
• Manual configuration
— All of the Nortel IP Phone's boot parameters are statically
configured at the Nortel IP Phone.
— See Procedure 98: "Entering IP Telephone boot parameters using
manual configuration" on page 422.
• Partial Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode
— Works with standard DHCP server. The DHCP server automatically
provides the Nortel IP Phone with an IP address; the remainder of
the Nortel IP Phone's boot parameters are statically configured at the
Nortel IP Phone.
— See Procedure 99: "Entering Nortel IP Phone boot parameters using
full DHCP parameters" on page 425.
• Full DHCP mode
— Requires special configuration of the DHCP server to recognize the
Nortel IP Phone. The DHCP server provides all boot parameters to
the Nortel IP Phone, including IP address and server address.
— See Procedure 100: "Entering boot parameters using partial DHCP
parameters" on page 427.
For configuration of the DHCP server, see Converging the Data Network with
VoIP (NN43001-260).
