188 Appendix B Troubleshooting WLAN IP Telephony installations
Format of the IP Phone 2004 Terminal DHCP Encapsulated Vendor
Specific option
The following definition describes the Nortel IP Phone 2004 specific,
Encapsulated Vendor Specific option. This option must be encapsulated
in a DHCP Vendor Specific option (Refer to RFC 1541 and RFC 1533)
and returned by the DHCP server as part of each DHCP OFFER and ACK
message for the IP Phone 2004 to accept these messages as valid. The
IP Phone 2004 pulls the relevant information out of this option and uses
it to configure the primary and (optionally) secondary TPSs. Either this
encapsulated option or a similar ly encoded site-specific option must be
present. Configure the DHCP server to send one or the other—but not
both. WinNT implementations must use the Site Specific option. For more
information, see "DHCP support for handsets that emulate the IP Phone
2004" (page 187).
The format of the Encapsulated Vendor Specific option field is: Type,
Length, Data.
•
Type (1 octet): 5 choices: 0x80, 0x90, 0x9d, 0xbf, 0xfb (128, 144, 157,
191, 251)
With the choice of five types, the IP Phone 2004 can operate in
environments where the initial choice is already in use by a different
vendor. Select only one Type byte.
• Length (1 octet): variable—depends on message content
•
Data (Length octets): ASCII-based—format Nortel-i2004-
A,iii.jjj.kkk.lll:ppppp,aaa,rrr;iii.jjj.kkk.lll:pppp,aaa,rrr
— Nortel-i2004-A uniquely identifies this as the Nortel option.
Additionally, the -A signifies this version of this specification. For
example, future enhancements could use -B.
— ASCII (,)—separates the fields
— ASCII (;)—separates the primary from secondary server info
— ASCII (.)—signals the end of the structure
— iii.jjj.kkk.lll:ppppp—identifies the IP:port for the server
(ASCII-encoded decimal)
— aaa—identifies the action for the server (ASCII-encoded decimal,
range 0 to 255)
— rrr—identifies the retry count for the server (ASCII-encoded decimal,
range 0 to 255)
