Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Method and system for providing voice assisted configuration on an IP telephone in a non-DHCP environment includes detecting a data packet including the IP telephone terminal MAC address, transmitting a configuration terminal MAC address in response to detected IP telephone MAC address, and configuring the IP telephone terminal in the non-DHCP layer 2 environment by assigning an IP address, a gateway address, a subnet mask, and additional parameters such as audio and noise level adjustment so that the IP telephone terminal is configured to fully function in the data network. Additional VOIP telephone terminals in the local area network may be configured by the configuration terminal.
