Using a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages
exchanged between the TA7104i and your DHCP server while the TA7104i boots up.
•
The TA7104i should be already running. If not, power it on by connecting the other end of
the power adaptor to an electrical earthed socket-outlet. The electrical outlet must be
installed near the TA7104i so that it is easily accessible.
Note:
If the
Power
LED is always blinking and never turns on, this means that the TA7104i
cannot find either an IPv4 DHCP server or an IPv6 address automatically. Check that you have
a DHCP server properly configured on your network. If you do not have a DHCP server, go to
the section Default Static IPv4 Address Configuration.
You can now access the TA7104i web interface. Refer to the
Software Configuration Guide
for
more details.
Initial Provisioning Sequence
When starting the TA7104i for the first time, it needs to be configured before it can support calls.
This process is known as
provisioning
. This sequence assumes that you have installed the
TA7104i hardware as per
Hardware Installation
.
The TA7104i requests its configuration only on the first restart. You can change the
configuration at will after the initial provisioning and the provisioning system can refresh the
TA7104i configuration.
•
Initial provisioning sequence:
1. When the TA7104i starts, it broadcasts a message requesting DHCP services (if the unit is
configured to start in DHCP mode).
2. The DHCP server responds with a set of IP addresses and network parameters, one of
which is the TA7104i IP address.
The following are some of the network parameters assigned via DHCP:
•
TA7104i IP address
•
Subnet Mask
•
Default Router IP address
•
DNS IP addresses
•
Configuration script server IP address and port number (optional)
•
SIP Servers IP address and port number
The TA7104i request its configuration by using a configuration file.
Default Static IPv4 Address Configuration
If there is no DHCP server in your network, then the IP address has to be configured statically.
•
To start the TA7104i with a static IP address:
