(clients) to obtain the parameters necessary for operation in the IP
network. This protocol reduces system administration workload,
allowing devices to be added to the network with little or no manual
conguration.
DHCP should be set to On if no other information is given. When set
to On, all information on this page will be set automatically.

Quality of Service
Quality of service is used in IP networks to provide dierent priority to dierent applicaions,or
to guarantee a certain level of performance to a critical data ow such as voice or video.
Dierentiated Services or DiServ is a networking architecture that species a simple mecha-
nism for classifying network trac using a 6-bit eld in the header of the IP packets. VLAN
(Virtual LAN) is a technology to logically divide a physical network into several logical nets
and thus to dierentiate trac.
SIP DiServ Enter a value between 0 and 63 to prioritize the SIP messages.
Media DiServ Enter a value between 0 and 63 to prioritize the media packets (voice).
VLAN By enabling this option, all communication to and from Avaya B179 is
done via the VLAN specied under VLAN ID. Note that this VLAN also

VLAN ID The ID number to be used for the IP telephony VLAN.
VLAN map enable Enabling VLAN priority mapping from the DiServ setting.
VLAN prio SIP Set a value between 0 and 7 to prioritize the SIP messages in the
VLAN.
