DHCP ARP Method
Requirements
Ensure you're following the 'Direct to Phone' Requirements.
Preface
- This MWI method maps a single MAC address to the individual mailbox.
- This method will not work with SIP endpoint Gateways
- This method will not work with mailboxes that use several physical phones.
- If any on-site changes are made to the physical phone resulting in a different MAC address for the extension. This will required changes in the DuVoice configuration, accordingly.
Phone Configuration
- Uses default DHCP configuration.
- Requires the phone's MAC address to be exported to a list.
- We'll refer to this as
<phone-mac>in the DuVoice configuration below.
