B.11.5 Setting Client Parameters
Client parameters are listed on the right side of the Client Configuration Window.
•
Client MAC: The Client MAC is used by BootP to identify the VoIP gateway. The MAC
address for the VoIP gateway is printed on a label located on the VoIP gateway hardware.
Enter the Ethernet MAC address for the VoIP gateway in this field. Click the box to the right
of this field to enable this particular client in the BootP tool (if the client is disabled, no replies
are sent to BootP requests).
Note:
When the MAC address of an existing client is edited, a new client is added, with the
same parameters as the previous client.
•
Client Name: Enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to remember which
VoIP gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could refer to the location of the
gateway.
•
Template: Click the pull down arrow if you wish to use one of the templates that you
configured. This applies the parameters from that template to the remaining fields.
Parameter values that are applied by the template are indicated by a check mark in the box
to the right of that parameter. Uncheck this box if you want to enter a different value. If
templates are not used, the box to the right of the parameters is colored gray and is not
selectable.
•
IP: Enter the IP address you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. Use the normal dotted
decimal format.
•
Subnet: Enter the subnet mask you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. Use the normal
dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is incorrect, the
VoIP gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is applied.
•
Gateway: Enter the IP address for the data network gateway used on this subnet that you
want to apply to the VoIP gateway. The data network gateway is a device, such as a router,
that is used in the data network to interface this subnet to the rest of the enterprise network.
•
TFTP Server IP: This field contains the IP address of the TFTP utility that is used for file
transfer of software and initialization files to the gateway. When creating a new client, this
field is populated with the IP address used by the BootP Tool. If a different TFTP utility is to
be used, change the IP address in this field to the IP address used by the other utility.
•
Boot File: This field specifies the file name for the software (cmp) file that is loaded by the
TFTP utility to the VoIP gateway after the VoIP gateway receives the BootReply message.
The actual software file is located in the TFTP utility directory that is specified in the BootP
Preferences
window. The software file can be followed by command line switches. For
information on available command line switches, refer to Section B.11.6 on page 198 .
Note 1: Once the software file loads into the gateway, the gateway begins functioning
from that software. In order to save this software to non-volatile memory, (only
the cmp file, i.e., the compressed firmware file, can be burned to your device's
flash memory), the -fb flag must be added to the end of the file name. If the
file is not saved, the gateway reverts to the old version of software after the
next reset.
Note 2: The Boot file field can contain up to two file names: cmp file name to be used
for load of application image and ini file name to be used for gateway
provisioning. Either one, two or no file names can appear in the Boot file
field. To use both file names use the ";" separator (without blank spaces)
between the xxx.cmp and the yyy.ini files (e.g., ram.cmp;SIPgw.ini).
•
ini File: This field specifies the configuration ini file that the gateway uses to program its
various settings. Enter the name of the file that is loaded by the TFTP utility to the VoIP
gateway after it receives the BootReply message. The actual ini file is located in the TFTP
utility directory that is specified in the BootP Preferences window.
