field value for use when signing in to
the CLI on the platform or into the
Cisco Unified Communications
Operating System Administration.
Note
You cannot change this field
after installation.

Administrator account.
Use this password to sign in to
Cisco Unified Communications
Operating System Administration,
Disaster Recovery System, and the
CLI.
Application User Username
and Password
Specifies the user ID and
password for Cisco Unified
Presence administration.
Use this user ID and password to sign

administration interface.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol
Select
Yes
if you want to use DHCP
to automatically configure the
network settings on your server.
If you select
No
, you must enter a
hostname, IP Address, IP Mask,
Gateway, and DNS configuration.
DNS Enabled
A Domain Name System (DNS)
server represents a device that
resolves a hostname into an IP
address or an IP address into a
hostname.
The DNS fields only display
when you are not using DHCP.
If you do not have a DNS server,
enter
No
. When DNS is not enabled,
you should only enter IP addresses
(not hostnames) for all network
devices in your Cisco IP Telephony
network.
If you have a DNS server, we
recommend that you enter
Yes
to
enable DNS. Disabling DNS limits
the ability of the system to resolve
some domain names.
