Chapter 4 Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Video Phone Overview of Options that are Configurable from a Phone Overview of Options that are Configurable from a Phone The settings that you can change on a phone fall into several categories, as shown in Table 4-1. For a detailed explanation of each setting and instructions for changing them, see the "Network Configuration Menu" section on page 4-6. Note Several options that display on the Network Configuration menu and on the Device Configuration Menu apply for display only. You can configure some of these options from Cisco Unified CallManager. The "Network Configuration Menu" section on page 4-6 or the "Device Configuration Menu" section on page 4-12, describe the options. Table 4-1 Configurable Network Configuration Menu Settings Category Description Network Configuration Menu Option DHCP settings Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically assigns IP address to devices when you connect them to the network. Cisco Unified IP Phones enable DHCP by default. DHCP Enabled IP settings If you do not use DHCP in your network, you can make IP settings manually. Domain Name IP Address Subnet Mask Default Router DNS Server 1-5 TFTP settings If you do not use DHCP to direct the phone to a TFTP server, you must manually assign a TFTP server. You can also assign an alternative TFTP server to use instead of the one that is assigned by DHCP.
