Static Addressing Installation

The usual way to assign IP Addresses to IP telephones is the automatic method described in Dynamic Addressing Process. There might be times, however, when manual assignment of IP Addresses is desired.

CAUTION: Static addressing is necessary when a DHCP server is unavailable.

Because of the increased opportunities for text entry errors associated with static addressing, Avaya strongly recommends that a DHCP server be installed and static addressing avoided.

Use the following procedure to invoke manual address information programming.

When you select ADDR from the Craft Local Procedure Screen, the Static Addressing Local Procedure screen displays as follows with the prompt “Select address to change.”:


Static Addressing screen			Line Description and (System Value)
Phone Call Server Router Mask File Server 802.1Q VLAN ID VLAN Test	nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn NVL2Q text string dddd ddd		Telephone IP Address (IPADD) Call Server in use; media server IP Address router in use; gateway/router IP Address IP network mask (NETMASK) IP Address of HTTP/S File Server in use NVL2Q setting text description NVL2QVLAN NVVLANTEST

where:

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the current IP Address associated with the specific address information to its left, which could be either a value previously set by a technician, or the original value of NVIPADD if no previous change was made,
NVL2Q text string is the text string associated with the current system value of NVL2Q where "Auto" = an NVL2Q value of "0", "On" = an NVL2Q value of "1", and "Off" = an NVL2Q value of "2", and
dddd is the current value of NVL2QVLAN and ddd is the current value of NVVLANTEST, respectively.

Use the navigation arrows to scroll to and highlight the address you want to change, then press Change to display the change screen for that specific address value.

Depending on the item you selected, choose one of the following:


If you want to	Then
Change any of the IP Address values (Phone, Call Server, Router, Mask, &/or File Server)	Use the dialpad to enter the new IP Address. IP Addresses have three sets of three digits followed by a period. Pressing * following entry of three digits causes a period to be placed in the next position, and the cursor to advance one position to the right. For example, to enter the IP Address 111.222.333.444, press the 1 on the dialpad three times then press , press the 2 on the dialpad three times then press , press the 3 on the dialpad three times then press *, then press the 4 on the dialpad three times. Proceed to the next step.
Change the 802.1Q value	Use the Right navigation arrow to cycle through the text strings corresponding to the NVL2Q values defined as “Auto” if NVL2Q=0, “On” if NVL2Q=1, and “Off” if NVL2Q= 2 until the text string of the value you want to change to displays. Proceed to the next step.
Change the VLAN ID value	Use the dialpad to enter the new static VLAN ID of from 0 to 4094, inclusive. Proceed to the next step.
Change the VLANTEST value	Use the dialpad to enter the new value of the DHCPOFFER wait period of from 0 to 999, inclusive. Proceed to the next step.

Press Save to store the new setting and redisplay the Craft Local Procedure screen or Cancel to return to the Craft Local Procedure screen without saving the value entered.

Once the new values are stored, the telephone is reset.

If a new boot program is downloaded from the HTTP server after you enter static addressing information, you must reenter your static addressing information.
