Provisioning Server configuration
A file server is an HTTP or an HTTPS server that is required to download and save the software
distribution package and the settings file.
When the phone is connected to the Ethernet for the first time or during a restart, the phone
checks for software updates and settings files on the specified file servers.
You can provide the file server addresses to phones through one of the following methods:
• DHCP
• LLDP
• Device Enrollment Services (DES)
• The web interface of the phone
Configuration through DHCP
Avaya J100 Series IP Phones connect to the DHCP server during the boot up. You can configure
the DHCP server to provide the following information to the device:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• IP address of the router
• IP address of the SNTP server
• IP address of DNS
You can configure the DHCP server to:
• Dynamically assign IP addresses to the Avaya J100 Series IP Phones.
• Provide various configuration parameters to the Avaya J100 Series IP Phones by configuring
SSON (site-specific option) in the DHCP server.
