H.323 User's Manual C. BootP/TFTP Configuration Utility
Version 5.0 389 December 2006
C.11.4 Testing the Client
There should only be one BootP utility supporting any particular client MAC active on the
network at any time.
¾ To check if other BootP utilities support this client, take these 4
steps:
1. Select the client that you wish to test by clicking on the client name in the main area of
the Client Configuration Window.
2. Click the Test Selected Client button
3. Examine the Log Window on the Main Application Screen. If there is another BootP
utility that supports this client MAC, there is a response indicated from that utility
showing the status Listed At along with the IP address of that utility.
4. If there is another utility responding to this client, you must remove that client from
either this utility or the other one.
C.11.5 Setting Client Parameters
Client parameters are listed on the right side of the Client Configuration Window.
 Client MAC: The Client MAC is used by BootP to identify the VoIP gateway. The MAC
address for the VoIP gateway is printed on a label located on the VoIP gateway
hardware. Enter the Ethernet MAC address for the VoIP gateway in this field. Click the
box to the right of this field to enable this particular client in the BootP tool (if the client
is disabled, no replies are sent to BootP requests).
Note: When the MAC address of an existing client is edited, a new client is added,
with the same parameters as the previous client.
 Client Name: Enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to remember
which VoIP gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could refer to the
location of the gateway.
 Template: Click the pull down arrow if you wish to use one of the templates that you
configured. This applies the parameters from that template to the remaining fields.
Parameter values that are applied by the template are indicated by a check mark in
the box to the right of that parameter. Uncheck this box if you want to enter a different
value. If templates are not used, the box to the right of the parameters is colored gray
and is not selectable.
 IP: Enter the IP address you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. Use the normal
dotted decimal format.
 Subnet: Enter the subnet mask you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. Use the
normal dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is
incorrect, the VoIP gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP
reset is applied.
 Gateway: Enter the IP address for the data network gateway used on this subnet that
you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. The data network gateway is a device, such
as a router, that is used in the data network to interface this subnet to the rest of the
enterprise network.
 TFTP Server IP: This field contains the IP address of the TFTP utility that is used for
file transfer of software and initialization files to the gateway. When creating a new
client, this field is populated with the IP address used by the BootP Tool. If a different
TFTP utility is to be used, change the IP address in this field to the IP address used by
the other utility.
