Before you can configure the telephony features on the DPA 7630/7610 to interact with Cisco CallManager, Octel, and PBX systems, you must first configure the basic network, SNMP, and password settings. These settings enable the DPA 7630/7610 to connect to the IP network and help you manage the device.
These sections provide details about configuring these settings on the DPA 7630/7610:
You can access the Cisco DPA 7630/7610 configuration options, after the device has started up, using a console terminal connected to the RJ-45 console port or through a Telnet session.
You might want to use the console port to connect to the DPA 7630/7610 when you initially install the device. This enables you to observe the initial startup procedure and manually assign an IP address and host name if you are not using DHCP.
To access the Cisco DPA 7630/7610 through the console RJ-45 port, perform these steps.
To access the DPA 7630/7610 through a Telnet session, you must know its IP address or host name. By default, the device uses DHCP. If you want to assign a specific IP address or host name, you must first configure the network settings using the console port before connecting through a Telnet session.
To access the DPA 7630/7610 from a remote host with Telnet, perform these steps:
After connecting to the DPA 7630/7610 through the console port or a Telnet session, the main menu appears (see Figure 5-1). Follow these guidelines to navigate the menus:
 |
Tip After connecting to the DPA 730/7610, you might need to press Ctrl-r on the keyboard to refresh the screen to display the main menu. |
You must configure the network settings on the DPA 7630/7610 to connect it to the IP network. After configuring any network settings, you must restart the DPA 7630/7610. See the "Restarting the DPA 7630/7610" section.
The host name is the device name sent to the Cisco CallManager server (with the port number appended to it) when the DPA 7630/7610 registers its ports with Cisco CallManager. It appears in the MAC address field. See the "Adding the DPA 7630/7610 to Cisco CallManager" section for details.
Typically, to ensure that the DPA 7630/7610 registers properly with Cisco CallManager, you should not change the host name. However, you might need to change it in some special situations.
You can change the host name on the replacement DPA 7630/7610 to match the previous DPA 7630/7610. This prevents you from reconfiguring all the phones associated with its ports. However, if you do this, be careful not to add the original DPA 7630/7610 to the same network later using the same host name.
For example, if the DPA 7630/7610 has a MAC address of: 123456790A, it attempts to register its first port as a phone with MAC address of 34567890AB01. However, if there is already a phone in the Cisco CallManager database with that MAC address, registration fails.
If you choose to change the host name, keep in mind these guidelines:
To set the host name, perform these steps:
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose Host Name.
Step 4 Enter the host name to be used by the DPA 7630/7610.

Step 5 Restart the DPA 7630/7610.
If you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) in your network, the DPA 7630/7610 automatically obtains an IP address when you connect it to the network. Although the DPA 7630/7610 uses DHCP by default, you can disable DHCP and manually assign an IP address to the DPA 7630/7610.
To use DHCP, perform these steps:
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose Use DHCP.
Step 4 Press Enter to toggle between yes (use DHCP) and no (do not use DHCP).
If you use DHCP, you can only modify the host name; you cannot modify the other network settings. See "Setting the Host Name" section for details.
If you do not use DHCP, you must enter the additional network settings. See these sections for details:
You might need to renew the IP address automatically assigned to the DPA 7630/7610. For example, if you have changed the physical location of the DPA 7630/7610 from one subnet to another or if you need assistance troubleshooting a connectivity problem.
To renew an IP address assigned from DHCP, follow these steps:
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose Renew DHCP.
The IP address identifies each DPA 7630/7610 on your TCP/IP network. You must enter the IP address if you are not using DHCP. The DPA 7630/7610 automatically obtains an IP address if you are using DHCP.

The DPA 7630/7610 can synchronize its date and time settings with either a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or Cisco CallManager. This ensure that the log files record the accurate date and time for diagnostic traces.
These sections describe these settings:
You can synchronize the date and time setting in the event logs on the DPA 7630/7610 with either and NTP server or Cisco CallManager.
To choose a time source, perform these steps:
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose Time source.
Step 4 Choose one of the following:
Step 5 Restart the DPA 7630/7610.
The DPA 7630/7610 uses the time offset to define the time zone of the NTP or Cisco CallManager servers if they are located in different time zones.
You set the time offset using seconds. For example, if the NTP server sends GMT time and you are in PST, the offset is -8 hours, which is:
-8 (hours) x 60 (minutes) x 60 (seconds) = -28800 seconds
Therefore, in this example, enter -28800 in the time offset field.
If the NTP server reports using your local time, set the value to 0.
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose Time offset.
Step 4 Enter the appropriate value in seconds.
Step 5 Restart the DPA 7630/7610.
If you choose to use an NTP server to synchronize the time settings on the DPA 7630/7610 (see "Identifying the Time Source for Event Logs" section), you must assign an NTP server and designate its time zone.
To set the NTP server, perform these steps:
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose NTP server.
Step 4 Enter the IP address of the NTP server.
 |
Note If you are using DHCP to obtain an IP address on the DPA 7630/7610, the DHCP server should also indicate the NTP server. |
Step 5 Restart the DPA 7630/7610.
The DPA 7630/7610 can advertise itself to other network devices using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). Many network management applications require that CDP is enabled.
To enable CDP, perform these steps:
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose CDP.
Step 4 Press Enter to toggle between enabled and disabled.
Step 5 Restart the DPA 7630/7610.
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is an IETF standard that uses 6 bits in the IPv4 header's Type of Service (ToS) field to specify the class of service for each packet. This enables you to apply differentiated grades of service to different packet types.
You can modify the assigned DSCP Quality of Service (QoS) value for certain types of traffic. This enables you to give priority to media traffic over control traffic.
To enable modify the DSCP QoS values, perform these steps:
Step 2 Choose Network interface.
Step 3 Choose Set DSCP QoS values
Step 4 Choose one of the following options:
Step 5 Enter the new value for Media traffic or Control traffic from 0 to 63, using decimal format.
By default, Media traffic is set to 46, and Control traffic is set to 26. You cannot change the value for All other traffic; it is set to 0.
Step 6 Restart the DPA 7630/7610.
The Cisco DPA 7630/7610 ships without a password set or enabled on it. You should enable passwords to prevent unauthorized access to and control of the DPA 7630/7610. The DPA 7630/7610 does not support user names.
Once you set a password, however, the DPA 7630 requires that you use it, whether you are accessing it using the console port, telnet, or FTP. When accessing the DPA 7630/7610 using FTP, the FTP server adopts the highest level of security currently set. For example, if you have set both a login and enable password, you must use the enable password to use FTP.
