of the Settings window.
The following sections describe the Server settings:
• “Reset button” on page 82

• “Restoring defaults” on page 83
• “Resetting the connection” on page 84
Reset button
When you select the
Reset
button in the following procedures, the phone
resets immediately without any warning.
However, if you make a change to the settings and select
Apply
or
OK
,
the phone indicates that a reset needs to take place. A warning message
appears—"IP softphone 2050 must reset for the configuration changes to
be complete. Select Yes to reset now or select No if you plan on resetting
later". You can select
Yes
to reset now, or
No
, to defer it until later.
Using DHCP
With
Automatic (DHCP)
enabled, the IP Softphone 2050 reads server
addresses from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
Note:
To use DHCP, your Local Area Network (LAN) must include a
DCHP server. Contact your System Administrator to configure the
server with the correct IP address values.
