2. Basic Installation
The LIP-6812 & LIP-6830 have been designed to be simple, yet flexible to install. The physical
installation is a matter of connecting the ports of the LIP Phone to the LAN, the Desk-top PC
and when Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not supported, to power (refer to section 2.1).
The LIP Phone can be configured automatically using CDP, DHCP and downloaded
Configuration files (refer to Appendix F. Auto Provisioning Routine). The LIP Phone retrieves
the Configuration files from a TFTP or HTTPS server (refer to Appendix D. Using the
Configuration File); the Configuration files provide the needed information for ‘Plug & Play
provisioning.
When power is applied and during a reboot, CDP, if enabled, determines any VLAN Id settings
and then basic provisioning parameters are requested from the local DHCP Server:
- DHCP Option #1 Subnet Mask
- DHCP Option #2 Time offset in seconds of the local time zone from GMT.
- DHCP Option #3 Default Gateway (router) IP Address
- DHCP Option #6 DNS Server IP Address
- DHCP Option #42 SNTP Server IP Address
- DHCP Option #50 IP address of the phone
- DHCP Option #66 TFTP Server Name
- DHCP Option #150 TFTP Server IP Address, has priority over Option 66 when set
- DHCP Option for HTTPS provisioning URL, default #160 has priority over Option #66
and 150
The LIP-6812 & LIP-6830 automated provisioning loads Configuration files, and if required,
phone software from the DHCP configured server, TFTP or HTTPS. When complete, the LIP
Phone automatically will register and authenticate for SIP call services using the configured
parameters. Note the LIP phone can be configured to ignore DHCP Option 66/150 and/or the
HTTPS provisioning URL Option, default 160.
When the ‘Plug & Play’ process described above is not available or desired, the LIP-6812/LIP-
6830 can be manually configured using the phone Dial pad and/or the LIP-6800 Web Manager
(Sections 3 and 4 respectively). If manual configuration is desired, Configuration download
must be disabled or the manually configured parameters must be removed from the
downloadable Configuration file.
2.1 Physical Connections
The following figure shows the cable connections for LIP-6812 & LIP-6830 phones. The LAN
and PC connections are made with Standard CAT 5 cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors
(refer to Figure 2.1-1, Figure 2.1-2 and Figure 2.1-3). The LIP Phones are designed to support
PoE (Power over Ethernet) ; if a PoE complaint Ethernet switch port is provided, the LIP Phone
will derive power from the port. If the LAN switch port does not support PoE, power connection
is by way of the optional AC/DC adapter, available separately. The handset is connected to the
base with a standard handset coil cord that is supplied with the LIP Phone.
