1.1.5.3 Server for Pre-provisioning
The DHCP server and TFTP server play important roles in performing pre-provisioning. This section explains
their purposes, uses, and brief descriptions.
Server Purpose Description
DHCP server Used to provide the address
of a TFTP server, set in option
66 of the DHCP server, to
units that have not been
configured yet.
In option 66 of the DHCP server, specify the IP
address or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of
the TFTP server.
For details, refer to the documentation for your
DHCP server.
Note
• The maximum length of FQDN text is 64
bytes.
TFTP server Used to store configuration
files, and is set as the access
point for downloading them
automatically.
The unit will download the configuration file "(model
name).cfg" stored in the root directory of the TFTP
server.
For example, if the model name is KX-TGP500B01,
the unit will download the configuration file "/
KX-TGP500B01.cfg".
DHCP and TFTP servers may be supplied with your operating system, provided through commercial services,
and are also distributed freely on the Internet. Use a server setup that best matches your environment.
When installing and setting up the DHCP server and TFTP server, refer to the documentation supplied with
the product. For details about connecting servers to the network and managing them, consult your network
administrator.
