Note: AltiGen MAXCS version 6.5 and up plus IP phone firmware 2×91 and above is needed for this feature.
You can configure option 120, in your DHCP server with your MAXCS IP address, so that the AltiGen IP phone automatically discovers the MAXCS server IP address and only needs to have the extension and password entered.
In addition to making initial IP phone setup easier, this feature is also helpful when there is a need to migrate MAXCS to a new IP address. The administrator just needs to update the new MAXCS IP address in the DHCP server and then reboot all Altigen IP phones.The phones will automatically pick up the new MAXCS’ IP address. Contact Tel-Net today for more information.
WARNING! In the event that there are two MAXCS servers in a same network and all IP phones get their IP address from a single DHCP server, some IP phones will get the wrong server IP address. You need to disable the autodiscovery feature for those IP phones that log on to the MAXCS server that is not configured in the DHCP option 120.
