1.2 Network Management1.2.1 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) ServerTo establish communication over a VoIP network, IP addresses must be assigned to IP telephones and thePBX to identify their locations on the network. While these addresses can be assigned manually, it is alsopossible to use a DHCP server to automatically assign IP address information. Using a DHCP server allowsyou to centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses.Assign IP addressinformation to an IPtelephoneWhen the MPR/DSP cards areconnected to the networkWhen an IP telephone isconnected to the networkRequest IP addressinformation1Assign IP addressinformation to theMPR/DSP cards2Request IP addressinformation34IP TelephoneDHCP ServerMPR/DSP CardsNote• The IP address for the IP-EXT16 card cannot be assigned automatically using a DHCP server. ThisIP address must be assigned manually using the Maintenance Console (PC programming software ofthe PBX). For details, refer to "4.4 Programming the IP-EXT16 Card (KX-TDE series only)".• The PBX is not able to act as a DHCP server. To use the DHCP client function of IP telephones andthe MPR/DSP cards, a separate DHCP server is required on the network, as shown above.• An IP telephone and the MPR/DSP cards cannot request IP addresses from a DHCP server on anotherLAN (connected through an IP network). They can only receive IP addresses from a DHCP server onthe same LAN. Therefore, when IP telephones are located on several LANs, a DHCP server is requiredon each LAN. If a DHCP server is not present on the LAN, IP addresses for IP telephones and theMPR/DSP cards on that LAN must be assigned manually.Document Version 2010-08 IP Networking Guide 71.2.1 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server
