Allworx phones running firmware from server software release 7.2 or higher (phone
firmware version 2.2 or higher) default to VLAN auto configure. If the network utilizes
LLDP-MED or CDP to set network host VLAN configurations, the Allworx phones will
be properly configured. If the phone is running an earlier version of firmware or if the
network does not use LLDP-MED or CDP, configure the VLANs manually.

1. Press the CONFIG soft key on the phone.
2. Using the arrow buttons, highlight Network Settings and press the Select
button . If you are prompted for a password, enter “allworx” using the
numeric keypad then press the Select button . The Network Settings
menu displays and DHCP highlights.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight VLAN. Press the Select button until the
VLAN setting is Manual.
4. Use the arrow buttons to highlight Phone VLAN Settings. Press the Select
button .
5. Enter the value for Phone VLAN ID and press the Select button .
6. Enter the value for Phone VLAN Priority and press the Select button .

Note: If the phones are running an earlier version of the firmware or if the network does

connecting the phones to an Allworx server that is running the server software
release 7.2 or higher.
