Appendix A
DHCP Server Function Notice
There are two web pages related to the DHCP Server options. One is DHCP Server Status in the
DHCP Server page and the other is the DHCP Only for IP Phones in the User Management page.
This appendix will illustrate the different combinations and results.
„ DHCP Server Status : Enabled / DHCP Only for IP Phones : Checked
- The DHCP server in this IPX-600 will only provide IP address to IP Phones with MAC
addresses listed in the user management page, the Notebook/PC in the same network will not
be able to get any IP address from IPX-600. In this way, as depicted in Figure 1, the voice
packets from IP Phones will go through IPX-600 and data packets from Notebook/PC will go
through NAT/Router. This is the default setting.
- Under this situation, if the APS selection is checked, the IP Phone will also get the
auto-configuration information (file name) from DHCP packets, and the IP Phone could be
installed automatically.
„ DHCP Server Status : Disabled
- The DHCP Server will not offer IP addresses to any devices that were connected to the LAN
network of the IPX-600.
„ DHCP Server Status : Enabled / DHCP Only for IP Phones : Unchecked
- The DHCP Server will offer IP addresses to any devices that were connected to the LAN
network of the IPX-600. The devices could be IP Phones and/or Notebook/PC.
