IP phone configuration

[jsaad]

I am setting up a BCM 400 and I have 6 IP phones (i2004) that are all in house. I've set up a separate switch for the IP phones. there is plenty of data cables at each desk location so cable is not a problem. So we have almost a separate network for the Ip phones. The BCM acts as a DHCP server for the IP phones. This all takes place on LAN1 of the BCM

So my questions are: can I use LAN2 to manage the BCM via their existing data network but Can I shut off DHCP on LAN2 only...so I can keep my phones receiving IPs on LAN1.

As a follow up, if my IP on LAN1 is 10.10.10.1 how would I configure my IP phones manually (if I have to do it this way).

You can disable DHCP scopes on a per interface basis. Open DHCP, LAN 2, and set it to disabled.

To configure the phones manually, go to the IP phone config (press the 4 softkeys under the display after you've powered up the phone and see Nortel Networks on the display). Set the phone to either full DHCP (easiest if BCM is handing out DHCP). Partial DHCP will get an IP, gateway and subnet mask from DHCP, but would require you enter the S1 address and port manually. No DHCP is just that - static IP address on phone.

In your case, the S1 IP would be 10.10.10.1, and the S1 Port would be 7000.
