If you are using IP as your network protocol, see also “Configuring IP
Telephony” on page 179 .

You should connect the telephone to the network segment on which
the NCP resides. You may configure a telephone on a subnet that is
remote to the NCP, but to do so you must first configure the network
information in the telephone using a option 184 on your DHCP server,
the Telephone Local User Interface utility (LUI), or the 3Com Telephone
Local Configuration Application (TLC). These options are described in
the
NBX Administrator’s Guide .
■
You must enable the Auto Discover Telephones feature before you
connect the telephone.
If you are adding licensed devices, you must first add the license key into
the NBX NetSet utility.
Adding a New Telephone Using the Auto Discover Feature
Before you enable the Auto Discover feature, be sure that you have the
dial plan you want installed. To Auto Discover a telephone:
1 Login to the NBX utility as administrator and then click System-wide
Settings > Auto Discovery.
2 Enable the check box labeled Auto Discovery Telephones.
For detailed information on each item in the Auto Discovery page, click
the Help button.
3 Optionally, enable the Auto Add Phones to Call Pickup Group 0 check
box.
Members of a Call Pickup Group can answer calls that ring on other
group members’ telephones. The default system includes one Call Pickup
Group. Whether or not you select this check box, you can later change
the call pickup group for any telephone. See the
NBX Administrator’s
Guide for information about Call Pickup Groups.
