Configuring the IP
Assigning the IP address
Select the necessary settings for operating your phone in your local network
and to connect it to the Internet. For more detailed explanations of the individ-
ual components/terms, see the glossary (
£
Page 172).
¤ Open the following Web page: Settings ¢ IP Configuration.
¤ In the
Address Assignment area, select the IP address type.
Select
Obtained automatically to use a dynamic IP address assigned by a DHCP
server in your local network. No further settings are necessary for the local net-
work.
Select
Static to set up a static local IP address for your phone. A static IP address
is, for example, useful if port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on the router for
the phone.
The following fields are displayed when you select
IP address type = Static:
IP address Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows your phone to be
reached by other subscribers in your local network (e.g. PC).
192.168.2.2 is the default.
Please note the following:
u The IP address must be from the address block for private use that is used in
the router. This is generally in the range 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254
with
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask determines that the first
three parts of the IP address must be identical for all subscribers in your LAN.
u The static IP address must not belong to the address block (IP pool range)
that is reserved for the DHCP server of the router. It must also not be used
by another device on the router.
If necessary, check the settings on the router.
Subnet mask
Enter the subnet mask for your device's IP address. For addresses from the
address block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254, the subnet mask
255.255.255.0 is generally used. This is preconfigured when the phone is sup-
plied.
Default gateway
Enter the IP address for the default gateway uses to connect the local network
to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your router
(e.g. 192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to access the Internet.
192.168.2.1 is the default.
