How exactly do you expect them to identify the "asterisk server"? Why
not use a host name? Distribute it by DNS or by any other means.

If you don't know exactly how, then what DHCP server are you using? I'm
currently using dnsmasq which works great for a simple dns/dhcp server
and so far was good enough for all the phones we needed to configure.

Setting a static IP is as simple as adding a line to /etc/hosts and a
line to /etc/ethers.
