○ Default Gateway Displays the gateway currently assigned to the system. If the system does
not automatically obtain a gateway IP address, enter one here.
○ Host Name Indicates the system’s Domain Name System (DNS) name.
○ Domain Name Displays the domain name currently assigned to the system. If the system
does not automatically obtain a domain name, enter one here.
○ DNS Servers Displays the DNS servers currently assigned to the system. If the system does
not automatically obtain a DNS server address, you can enter up to four DNS servers here.
» IPv6 You can specify IPv6 DNS server addresses for IP addresses entered manually or
obtained automatically (in the case of a system on a hybrid network that obtains IPv4 DNS
server addresses via DHCPv4).
» IPv4 You can specify IPv4 DNS server addresses only when the IPv4 address is entered
manually. When the IPv4 address is obtained automatically, the DNS Server addresses are
also obtained automatically.
○ LAN Speed Specify the LAN speed to use. Note that the speed you choose must be supported
by the switch. You can choose from the following options:
» Choose Auto to have the network switch negotiate the speed automatically. Choosing Auto
automatically sets Duplex Mode to Auto.
» If you choose 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps you must set Duplex Mode to Half or Full.
Note: LAN Speed Settings for the Polycom HDX and Switch Must be The Same
Polycom does not support Auto for the Polycom HDX system only or the switch only; the settings
for both must be the same.
○ Duplex Mode Specify the duplex mode to use. Note that the Duplex mode you choose must
be supported by the switch. Choose one of the following options:
» Choose Auto to have the network switch automatically negotiate the Duplex mode.
Choosing Auto automatically sets the LAN Speed field to Auto. The duplex settings for both
the Polycom HDX system and the switch must be the same. Polycom recommends that you
set both to Auto.
» Half Duplex Half Duplex provides communication in both directions, but only one direction
at a time (not simultaneously).
» Full Duplex Full Duplex allows communication in both directions simultaneously.
○ Ignore Redirect Messages Enables the HDX system to ignore redirect messages from network
routers. A redirect message tells the endpoint to use a different router than the one it is using.
