Telephone Installation 289
3Com 2101
Basic Telephone
The easiest way to install any 3Com telephone assumes that the
telephone obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. If your network does
not provide IP addresses through a DHCP server, you must manually
configure the IP address of the telephone.
Configuring the 3Com 2101 Telephone with a DHCP Server
To configure the 3Com 2101 Basic Telephone:
1 Plug one end of a Category 5 Ethernet cable into the connector on the
3101 Basic Telephone.
2 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate data jack on
your network.
3 Plug the power cord into an AC power receptacle.
4 Plug the other end of the power cord into the power connector on the
telephone.
5 Press the Msg (message) button, located below the up and down arrow
buttons.
6 Press 5 (Set NCP IP).
7 Enter the IP address of the Primary VCX Call Processing Server.
8 Press # to save the Primary Call Processing Server setting.
VCX systems typically have two Call Processing servers. One is the primary
server and the other is the alternate server, which is available for fail-over
purposes.
9 Press the Msg (message) button.
10 Press 6 (VCX Cnfig Menu).
11 Press 1 (Alt Dnld Servr).
12 Enter the IP address of the Alternate Call Processing Server.
13 Press # to save the Alternate Call Processing Server setting.
14 Disconnect and reconnect the telephone power cord.
The telephone:
■
Obtains an IP address from a DHCP in your network.
■
Contacts the Primary Call Processing Server and begins to download
the appropriate software.
