Proposed Solution
Procedure
1. A more robust way to provide this value is to use DHCP. You can administer the
DHCP server to provide MCIPADD using DHCP Option 242. You can also
administer the TLSSRVR, HTTPSRVR and L2QVLAN parameters using this option.
Deskphones using non-static addressing automatically use the DHCP request
method. Option 242 is the 96xx default DHCP offer and may get MCIPADD and
other addresses using this way.
2. The deskphone displays the
Waiting for LLDP
message when both the HTTP and
HTTPS Server IP address are not administered. To administer the HTTP and/or
HTTPS server, use the Craft ADDR procedure and enter the correct HTTP and or
HTTPS File Server IP address in the File Server field.
3. An alternative protocol known as LLDP can also supply call server, and file server
with HTTP and HTTPS IP addresses. This IETF standard protocol requires the
network to be equipped and configured to support LLDP. You can provide HTTP
and the HTTPS Server and call server IP addresses with LLDP in the network using
proprietary Transport Layer Values (TLVs) to pass information to the deskphones.
For more information about LLDP processing, see the

Deskphone H.323 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G
.
LLDP setup and troubleshooting steps
For manually programmed deskphones, use the Craft ADDR procedure to set the Call Server
to a valid IP address. For information on entering the IP addresses using the ADDR procedure,
see
Changing IP address information
on page 46.
Note:
If system value
STATIC
is set to 0 which is the default setting, the DHCP or the 46xxsettings
file might overwrite the static addresses.
Note:
See the

Deskphone H.323 Administrator Guide
for details on how to set
“STATIC” to use manually programmed IP addresses.
