Appendix F: Enabling DHCP on the VT5900-SA
• Within SNMP/MIB browser: the user will get only “Abort” messages after attempting to 
contact any IP address using the miethernet IPAddr leaf. “Remote SNMP agent not contacted” 
will also display in lower left corner of MIB browser. 
In the above situations, check the following: 1) Check on the status of the DHCP server with your 
network administrator, 2) ensure the Ethernet good link light on the VT5900-SA is green (and if 
not check that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the VT5900-SA), and 3) Check the 
configuration of the VT5900-SA including the gateway address and assign values manually if 
needed. If these all appear to be in order but DHCP is still not working, then try resetting the 
VT5900-SA to factory defaults (any current configuration settings will be reset), reboot the 
VT5900-SA, and then reconfigure the VT5900-SA as desired. In problems persist then consult the 
Troubleshooting section of this manual for further assistance. 
This completes “Appendix F, Enabling DHCP on the VT5900-SA”.
