Initial Provisioning Sequence
When starting the TA7104/7108 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
TA7104/7108 hardware as per
Hardware Installation
.
The TA7104/7108 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 TA7104/7108
configuration.
Initial provisioning sequence:
1. When the TA7104/7108 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 TA7104/7108 IP address.
The following are some of the network parameters assigned via DHCP:
TA7104/7108 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 TA7104/7108 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 TA7104/7108 with a static IP address:
1. With a 10/100 Hub and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables, connect both cables to
the Hub; one of them is connected into the
WAN
connector. The other cable links the computer to
the Hub.
2. Reconfigure the IP address of your computer to
192.168.0.11
and the Subnet Mask to
255.255.255.0
.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Power on the TA7104/7108, by connecting the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
The electrical outlet must be installed near the TA7104/7108 so that it is easily accessible.
5. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the
Reset / Default
hole located at the rear of the
TA7104/7108. The
Power
LED will start blinking, and after a few seconds, all the LEDS will start
blinking. Release the paper clip after all the LEDs start blinking and before they all stop blinking
(between 7-11 seconds).
This procedure is called a partial reset. After a partial reset is performed, the TA7104/7108 uses
the default IP address 192.168.0.1/24. Refer to
“Partial Reset” for details on the partial reset
procedure.
The corresponding link-local IPv6 address is also available and printed on the sticker under the
TA7104/7108.
You can now access the TA7104/7108 web interface. Refer to the
Software Configuration Guide
for more details.
IPv6 Link Local Address Configuration
If there is no DHCPv6 server or IPv6 router in your network, you can use the link local address to
contact the unit. Note that the TA7104/7108 IPv6 interface is disabled by default.
