Installing the IP Phone
Before installing your IP phone, it is useful to know what kind of IP addressing your LAN or router is using.
Most networks, including the Internet, use identification codes IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to identify and locate the devices that share
their services.
DHCP-addressing
•
With this system, your LAN or router automatically assigns all the required IP parameters to any device connected
to it when the device logs on. (Some ISPs who use DHCP require a host name, which must be entered manually.)
Your phone is shipped from the factory with DHCP on, or enabled. So, if your LAN or router is configured to use
DHCP addressing, your IP Phone’s LAN parameters will automatically be configured as soon as it is connected to the
LAN or router and powered up.
Press the »IP« button if you wish to view the IP address.
Static addressing
•
If your LAN does not use DHCP addressing, each device concurrently connected to it must be assigned its own uni
-
que IP address. In this case, your LAN’s configuration information must be manually entered into the phone. You
will need to know the following parameters:
•
IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway address
•
Primary DNS address
•
Secondary DNS address (required by some systems)
If your network uses static addressing, ask your network administrator for the parameters needed for configuring
your IP Phone.
