This document discusses the dynamic initialization of an Alcatel-Lucent set using an external DHCP server. It describes the two types of dynamic initialization as either dynamic or proprietary dynamic. It provides details on the information the set provides in DHCP Discover messages, such as vendor class identifier and requested options. It also describes the parameters that are provided in the DHCP offer response, including IP address, router address, subnet mask, and vendor-specific option 43 which provides the path to configuration files.

Configuring an external DHCP server for dynamic initialization

Two types of dynamic initialization are available: - Dynamic (default value): the set selects in priority DHCP offers, with a Vendor Specific option corresponding to an Alcatel-Lucent server. - Proprietary Dynamic: the set accepts only DHCP offers with a Vendor Specific option corresponding to an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise server (alcatel.int-ip.0,alcatel.a4400.0, alcatel.a4200.0). When initializing in dynamic mode, the set provides the following information in the DHCP Discover message - Option 60: (vendor class identifier): alcatel.ictouch.0 - Option 55: list of requested options: subnet mask, router option, broadcast address, option 43 vendor specific info, server ID, renewal time, rebinding time and vendor class ID Option 43 is vendor specific information, meaning that this option is defined for a specific client vendor ID. In the DHCP offer, the data within Option 43 corresponds to the client vendor ID specified in the request. In the case of 8082 My IC Phone sets, suboption 67 of option 43 provides the path of configuration files on the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office Communication Server. The DHCP offer provides the following parameters: - IP address - Router IP address - Subnet mask - Option 66: IP address:10443 or name of the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office Communication Server:10443, for example 192.168.12.34:10443 - Suboption 67 of option 43: the value of this sub-option corresponds to the DM Url.It must contain a string value set to /dmcfg/ - Option 58: VLAN ID: this is sent as a suboption of option 43 Optionally, the DHCP offer can include the following parameters, which can also be configured locally on the terminal or on the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office Communication Server: - Option 6: Domain Name Server (DNS primary and secondary) - Option 15: Domain name - Option 12: Host name (eg, ICTouch<MAC>) - Option 42: SNTP server - Option 120: SIP server (outbound proxy server address or name)
