Last Updated : Feb 15, 2022 |

About this task

Avaya J100 Series IP Phones and Avaya 9600 Series IP Deskphones obtain network and configuration information using the DHCP protocol. Administer endpoints to obtain endpoint settings and firmware files from the HTTP file server.

Before you begin

Set up a DHCP server. For more information about DHCP server, see Installing and Administering Avaya J100 Series SIP IP Phones in Open SIP and Administering Avaya 9601/9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/9641G/9641GS IP Deskphones SIP.

Procedure

  1. Access the DHCP server.
  2. On the DHCP server, specify the IP address of the HTTP file server using the HTTPSRVR parameter.

    You must specify the IP address of the file server where you store 46xxsettings.txt, 96x1Supgrade.txt, J100SUpgrade.txt, and SIP firmware files.

    For example: 
    option avaya-option-242 code 242 = string;
option avaya-option-242 "HTTPSRVR=10.1.2.22";
