186 CHAPTER 10: CONFIGURING IP TELEPHONY ■ Manually Assigned IP Settings - Use these fields to configure the IP settings for the telephone. You can change an IP setting only if the corresponding field under IP Settings Reported by Device is 0.0.0.0. If the field contains a value other than 0.0.0.0, you can change the value only through the telephone buttons. See the next section. Manually assigned settings take precedence over settings assigned automatically by DHCP. If you manually enter the IP settings for a telephone, these settings replace any settings supplied by a DHCP server, and the telephone no longer searches for a DHCP server when it is plugged into a network. 7 Click OK. The Ethernet (Layer 2) communications between the NCP and the telephone ensure that the telephone receives the IP address of the NCP as part of the configuration. You can program IP configuration directly into a telephone using the telephone Local User Interface (LUI) utility. For the 3100 Entry Telephone, which does not have display panel, you can use the Telephone Local Configuration application. For detailed instructions on how to use these tools, see the NBX Administrator's Guide. Automatically Configuring Telephone IP Settings When you connect a 3Com Telephone to a network, it searches for a DHCP server. If the telephone is on the same subnet as the NCP, the telephone receives the following configuration information from the NCP: ■ The IP settings (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address) for the telephone to use ■ The IP address of the NCP The telephone then stops searching for a DHCP sever. If a telephone is on a different subnet than the NCP and a DHCP server provides IP settings to the telephone, the telephone cannot communicate with the NCP until it has the NCP IP address. There are two methods of providing the NCP IP address to the telephone: ■ Manually configure the NCP IP address into the telephone using the telephone LUI utility. See "Manually Configuring Telephone IP Settings" on page 185. ■ Provide the IP address to the telephone using DHCP option 184. For an example of how to configure option 184 on a DHCP server, see

— Use these fields to configure the
IP settings for the telephone. You can change an IP setting only if the
corresponding field under IP Settings Reported by Device is 0.0.0.0. If
the field contains a value other than 0.0.0.0, you can change the
value only through the telephone buttons. See the next section.
Manually assigned settings take precedence over settings assigned

Automatically
Configuring
Telephone IP Settings
When you connect a 3Com Telephone to a network, it searches for a
DHCP server. If the telephone is on the same subnet as the NCP, the
telephone receives the following configuration information from the
NCP:
■
The IP settings (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address)
for the telephone to use
■
The IP address of the NCP
The telephone then stops searching for a DHCP sever.
If a telephone is on a different subnet than the NCP and a DHCP server
provides IP settings to the telephone, the telephone cannot communicate
with the NCP until it has the NCP IP address. There are two methods of
providing the NCP IP address to the telephone:
■
Manually configure the NCP IP address into the telephone using the
telephone LUI utility. See
“
Manually Configuring Telephone IP
Settings
”
on
page 185
.
■
Provide the IP address to the telephone using DHCP option 184. For an
example of how to configure option 184 on a DHCP server, see
