Configuring DHCP Settings
The Cisco Unified IP Phones enable DHCP, by default, to automatically assign IP addresses to devices when you connect them to the network. If you do not use DHCP in your network, then you must disable DHCP and manually enter the network configuration information. For more information, see "Interacting with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server" section on page 2-14.
Use these guidelines when manually configuring the IP settings:

Configuring the Security Certificate on the Phone
Security features establish and maintain authenticated communication streams between the phone and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, and digitally sign files before they are delivered.
A Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) installs on phones after you perform the necessary tasks that are associated with the Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF). You can use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to configure an LSC, as described in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
Alternatively, you can initiate the installation of an LSC from the Security Configuration menu on the phone. This menu also lets you update or remove an LSC.
Before you do so, ensure that the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the CAPF security configurations are complete:
•
•
•
See Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more information. For more information about the security features, see "Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones" section on page 1-10.
Depending on how you have configured the CAPF, this procedure installs an LSC, updates an existing LSC, or removes an existing LSC.
To configure an LSC on the phone, perform the following steps.
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
The phone prompts for an authentication string.
Step 5
The phone begins to install, update, or remove the LSC, depending on how the CAPF was configured. During the procedure, a series of messages appears in the LSC option field in the Security Configuration menu so that you can monitor progress. When the procedure completes successfully, the phone will display Installed or Not Installed.
The LSC install, update, or removal process can take a long time to complete. You can stop the process at any time by pressing the Stop softkey from the Security Configuration menu. Settings must be unlocked before you can press this softkey.
When the phone successfully completes the installation procedure, it displays "Success." If the phone displays "Failed," the authorization string may be incorrect or the phone may not be enabled for upgrading. See the error messages generated by the CAPF and take appropriate actions.
You can verify that an LSC is installed on the phone by choosing SETTINGS > System Configuration > Security. The LSC displays "Installed."
