Up to this point, I've been programming each IP phone with a static IP
address and entering the data.

Phone: 192.168.101.x
Call Server: 192.168.101.10
Call Server Port: 1719
Router: 192.168.101.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
File Server: 192.168.1.34
802.1Q: On
VLAN ID: 101
VLAN Test: 300

Now, that we are using IP phones more it would be easier if the phones
would get DHCP leases. I will also look to see where the DHCP server
is plugged in respect to the power-over-ethernet switch and IP phones.
