SIP User's Manual C. BootP/TFTP Configuration Utility
Version 5.0 353 December 2006
Use right-click on a line in the Log Window to open a pop-up window with the following
options:
 Reset: Selecting this option results in a reset command being sent to the client VoIP
gateway. The program searches its database for the MAC address indicated in the
line. If the client is found in that database, the program adds the client MAC address to
the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table for the computer. The program then
sends a reset command to the client. This enables a reset to be sent without knowing
the current IP address of the client, as long as the computer sending the reset is on
the same subnet.
Note: To use reset as described above, the user must have administrator privileges
on the computer. Attempting to perform this type of reset without administrator
privileges on the computer results in an error message. ARP Manipulation Enable
must also be turned on in the Preferences window.
 View Client: Selecting this option, or double clicking on the line in the log window,
opens the Client Configuration window. If the MAC address indicated on the line
exists in the client database, it is highlighted. If the address is not in the client
database, a new client is added with the MAC address filled out. You can enter data in
the remaining fields to create a new client entry for that client.

ARP is a common acronym for Address Resolution Protocol, and is the method used by all
Internet devices to determine the link layer address, such as the Ethernet MAC address, in
order to route Datagrams to devices that are on the same subnet.
