Chapter 4. IP Phone Setup
In order to get the device ready for making and receiving phone calls, the device must be configured
with correct network configurations and at least one of the lines must be configured with an IP
telephony service.
4.1 Network Configuration
The device relies on IP network connection to provide service. Unlike traditional phone system based
on a circuit switched wire technology, IP devices are connected to each other over the network and
exchange data in packet basis based on the devices’ IP address.
To enable the device, the network parameters must be configured properly first. To configure network
parameters, user should open the network configuration screen through soft-menu [Menu] -> [Settings]
-> [Advanced Settings] -> [Network] -> [Network Settings] from standby screen.
If user see a ‘Network Disconnected’ icon flashing in the middle of screen, it means
the network cable is not correctly connected to the device’s network port. Please check
whether the cable is connected correctly to the device and to the network switch, router, or
modem.
There are three common IP configuration modes.
 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) -- This is the automatic configuration mode by
getting network configurations from a DHCP server. Users need not to configure any parameters
manually. All configuration parameters will be getting from DHCP server and applied to the device.
This is recommended for most users.
 Static IP Configuration -- This option allows user to configure each IP parameter manually,
including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. This is usually used in an
office environment or by power users.
 PPPoE -- This option is often used by users who connect the device to a broadband modem or
router. To establish a PPPoE connection, user should configure username and password
provided by the service provider.
The device is default configured in Static mode; the default IP address is 172.16.0.1
