Configuring OmniPCX Office DHCP server
Note:
You need to know the set directory number.
As of R9.1, the OmniPCX Office DHCP server is enabled by default during startup wizard
installation. If enabled, 8002/8012 Deskphone sets automatically initialize in dynamic mode,
when plugged to the OmniPCX Office. In other words 8002/8012 Deskphone automatically
obtain their IP configuration from the OmniPCX Office DHCP server.
If the OmniPCX Office DHCP server is disabled, you can enable it as follows:
1. In OMC, go to Hardware and Limits > LAN/IP Configuration > DNS/DHCP.
2. Modify the range(s) of IP addresses if needed.
3. In the ALU IP Phones: DHCP IP Range area, select the Enable check box.
4. Click the OK button to confirm your entries.
Configuring an external DHCP server for dynamic initialization
Two types of dynamic initialization are available:
- Dynamic (default value): the set selects in priority DHCP offers, with a Vendor Specific
option corresponding to an Alcatel-Lucent server.
- Proprietary Dynamic: the set accepts only DHCP offers with a Vendor Specific option
corresponding to an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise server (alcatel.int-ip.0,
alcatel.a4400.0, alcatel.a4200.0).
When initializing in dynamic mode, the set provides the following information in the DHCP
Discover message
- Option 60: (vendor class identifier): alcatel.ictouch.0
- Option 55: list of requested options: subnet mask, router option, broadcast address, option
43 vendor specific info, server ID, renewal time, rebinding time and vendor class ID
Option 43 is vendor specific information, meaning that this option is defined for a specific client
vendor ID. In the DHCP offer, the data within Option 43 corresponds to the client vendor ID
specified in the request.
In the case of 8002/8012 Deskphone sets, suboption 67 of option 43 provides the path of
configuration files on the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office Communication Server.
