ARP Type:

The type of entry made into the ARP cache on the computer, once ARP

Manipulation

is enabled, can be either Dynamic or Static. Dynamic entries expire after a

period of time, keeping the cache clean so that stale entries do not consume computer
resources. The Dynamic setting is the default setting and the setting most often used. Static
entries do not expire.

Number of Timed Replies:

This feature is useful for communicating to VoIP gateways that

are located behind a firewall that would block their BootRequest messages from getting
through to the computer that is running the BootP Tool. You can set this value to any whole
digit. Once set, the BootP Tool can send that number of BootReply messages to the
destination immediately after you send a remote reset to a VoIP gateway at a valid IP
address. This enables the replies to get through to the VoIP gateway even if the
BootRequest is blocked by the firewall. To turn off this feature, set the Number of Timed
Replies

= 0.

B.10.2 TFTP Preferences

Enabled:

To enable the TFTP functionality of the BootP Tool, check the box beside this

heading. If you want to use another TFTP application, other than the one included with the
BootP Tool, unselect the box.

On Interface:

This pull down menu displays all network interfaces currently available on the

computer. Select the interface that you want to use for the TFTP. Normally, there is only one
choice.

Directory:

This option is enabled only when the TFTP is enabled. Use this parameter to

specify the folder that contains the files for the TFTP utility to manage (cmp, ini, Call
Progress Tones, etc.).

Boot File Mask:

Boot File Mask specifies the file extension used by the TFTP utility for the

boot file that is included in the BootReply message. This is the file that contains VoIP
gateway software and normally appears as cmp.

ini File Mask:

ini File mask specifies the file extension used by the TFTP utility for the

configuration file that is included in the BootReply message. This is the file that contains
VoIP gateway configuration parameters and normally appears as ini.

Timeout:

This specifies the number of seconds that the TFTP utility waits before

retransmitting TFTP messages. This can be left at the default value of 5 (the more
congested your network, the higher the value you should define in these fields).

Maximum Retransmissions:

This specifies the number of times that the TFTP utility tries to

resend messages after timing out. This can be left at the default value of 10 (the more
congested your network, the higher the value you should define in these fields).
