DHCP Menu

The DHCP menu is accessible only when the DHCP client is enabled. The

following DHCP configuration parameters can be modified on the DHCP

menu:

Note

A parameter value of “???” indicates that the parameter has not yet been set and
saved in the phone’s configuration. Any such parameter should have its value set
before continuing.

The EM Power parameter is only available on SoundPoint IP 601 and 650 phones.

Note

To switch the text entry mode on the SoundPoint IP 330/320, press the #. You may
want to use URL or IP address modes when entering server addresses.

Number of seconds the phone waits for secondary DHCP Offer
messages before selecting an offer.

Boot Server

0=Option 66

The phone will look for option number 66 (string type) in the
response received from the DHCP server. The DHCP server
should send address information in option 66 that matches one
of the formats described for Server Address in the following
section,

Server Menu

. If the DHCP server sends nothing, the

phone sends out a DHCP INFORM query and the following
scenarios are possible:

If no alternate DHCP server responds:

- The INFORM query process will retry and eventually time
out.

- The boot server value stored in flash will be used.

A single alternate DHCP server responds. This is
functionally equivalent to the scenario where the primary
DHCP server responds with a valid boot server value.
