5.
Accessing a TFTP
server In addition to assigning an IP address, the DHCP
server directs the conference station to a TFTP
Server. If the conference station has a
statically-defined IP address, you must configure
the TFTP server locally on the conference station;
the conference station then contacts the TFTP
server directly.
Note
You can also assign an alternative TFTP
server to use instead of the one assigned by
DHCP.
See the “Network Configuration Menu”
section on page 4-5 .
See the “Resolving Startup Problems” section
on page 9-2 .
6. Requesting the
configuration file The TFTP server has configuration files, which
define parameters for connecting to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and
other information for the conference station. See the “Understanding Conference Station
Configuration Files” section on page 2-4 .
See the “Resolving Startup Problems” section
on page 9-2 .
7. Contacting
Cisco Unified
Communications
Manager The configuration file defines how the conference
station communicates with
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and
provides a conference station with its load ID.
After obtaining the file from the TFTP server, the
conference station attempts to make a connection
to the highest priority Cisco Unified
Communications Manager on the list. The
conference station makes a non-secure TCP
connection.
If the conference station was manually added to
the database, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager identifies the conference station. If the
conference station was not manually added to the
database and auto-registration is enabled in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the
conference station attempts to auto-register itself
in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note
Auto-registration is disabled when
security is enabled on Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. In this case,
the conference station must be manually
added to the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.

on page 9-2 .
