2.2.1.1 DHCP or Manual TCP/IP Setup

Basic network settings can be derived from DHCP or entered manually using the
phone’s LCD-based user interface. Polycom recommends using DHCP where possi-
ble to eliminate repetitive manual data entry.

The following table shows the manually entered networking parameters that may be
overridden by parameters obtained from a DHCP server:
