Enter the Ethernet MAC address for the VoIP gateway in this field. Click thebox to the right of this field to enable this particular client in the BootP tool (if the client isdisabled, no replies are sent to BootP requests).When the MAC address of an existing client is edited, a new client is added, with thesame parameters as the previous client. Client Name: Enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to rememberwhich VoIP gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could see the locationof the gateway. Template: Click the pull down arrow if you wish to use one of the templates that youconfigured. This applies the parameters from that template to the remaining fields.Parameter values that are applied by the template are indicated by a check mark in thebox to the right of that parameter. Uncheck this box if you want to enter a different value.If templates are not used, the box to the right of the parameters is colored gray and is notselectable. IP: Enter the IP address you want to apply to the VoIP gateway. Use the normal dotteddecimal format. Subnet: Enter the subnet mask you want to apply to the VoIP gateway.

Gateway: Enter the IP address for the data network gateway used on this subnet thatyou want to apply to the VoIP gateway. The data network gateway is a device, such as arouter, that is used in the data network to interface this subnet to the rest of theenterprise network. TFTP Server IP: This field contains the IP address of the TFTP utility that is used for filetransfer of software and initialization files to the gateway. When creating a new client,this field is populated with the IP address used by the BootP Tool. If a different TFTPutility is to be used, change the IP address in this field to the IP address used by theother utility. Boot File: This field specifies the file name for the software (cmp) file that is loaded bythe TFTP utility to the VoIP gateway after the VoIP gateway receives the BootReplymessage. The actual software file is located in the TFTP utility directory that is specifiedin the BootP Preferences window. The software file can be followed by command lineswitches. For information on available command line switches, see Using Command LineSwitches.
