Basic Network Settings
The base station attempts to contact a DHCP server in your network to obtain valid network
settings (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS address) by default. The IP
DECT phone can support either or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses modes, but IPv6 is disabled by
default.
To configure the IP address mode via handset user interface:
1. Press to enter the main menu.
2. Select Settings->System Settings->Network (default PIN: 0000) ->Basic.
3. Press or to select IPv4, IPv6 or IPv4&IPv6 from the IP Mode field.
4. Press the Save soft key to accept the change or the Back soft key to cancel.
Note
Configuring Static IP Address
If the base station cannot contact a DHCP server for any reason, you need to configure basic
network settings manually.
You can configure a static IPv4 address for the IP phone. Before configuring it, make sure that
the IP mode is configured as IPv4 or IPv4&IPv6.
To configure static IPv4 IP address manually via the handset:
1. Press to enter the main menu.
2. Select Settings->System Settings->Network (default PIN: 0000) ->Basic.
3. Press to select IPv4, and then press the OK soft key.
4. Press or to select Static from the IP Address Type field.
5. Enter the valid value in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS and
Secondary DNS field respectively.
6. Press the Save soft key to accept the change.
The base station reboots automatically to make settings effective after a period of time.
You can also configure a static IPv6 address for the IP phone. Before configuring it, make sure
that the IP mode is configured as IPv6 or IPv4&IPv6.
To configure static IPv6 IP address manually via the handset:
1. Press to enter the main menu.
2. Select Settings->System Settings->Network (default PIN: 0000) ->Basic.
3. Press to select IPv6, and then press the OK soft key.
Wrong network settings may result in inaccessibility of your DECT phone and may also have an
impact on your network performance. For more information on these parameters, contact your
system administrator.
