Use the Server dialog box to configure the connection between the 
IP Softphone 2050 and your communications server and, if applicable, 
the GXAS server. You can either use the default method (DHCP) or 
manually specify an IP address.

the phone indicates that a reset needs to take place. A warning message 
appears—"IP softphone 2050 must reset for the configuration changes to

later". You can select

With 

 enabled, the IP Softphone 2050 reads server 

addresses from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.

To use DHCP, your Local Area Network (LAN) must include a 

DCHP server. Contact your System Administrator to configure the 
server with the correct IP address values.
