Setting the phone with the PC
Gigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / web_server.fm / 24.04.2009
Version 8, 03.09.2008
Preferred DNS server
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System)
allows you to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS server is
required to convert the DNS name into the IP address when a connection is
being established to a server.
You can specify your router's IP address here. The router forwards phone
address requests to its DNS server.
192.168.2.1 is the default.
Alternate DNS server (optional)
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situa-
tions where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.
¤ Select
Set to save the changes.
Or
¤ Select
Cancel to reject the changes.
After you have changed the IP configuration the base station is rebooted. You
will be logged off by the Web configurator. The Login Web page is displayed
again after the reboot.
Allowing access from other networks
The default setting for your phone is set so that you can only access your
phone's Web configurator via a PC that is in the same local network as your
phone. The subnet mask of the PC must match that of the phone.
You can also allow access from PCs in other networks.
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ IP Configuration.
Area:
Remote Management
¤ Activate the Yes option to permit access from other networks.
To deactivate remote access, activate the
No option Access is then limited to
PCs in your own local network.
Access to the Web configurator services from other networks is only possible if
your router is set accordingly. The router must pass on the service requests
from "outside" to Port 80 (default port) of the phone. Please also read the user
guide for your router.
To establish a connection, the public IP address or the DNS name of the router
and, where applicable, the port number on the router must be indicated in the
Web browser of the remote PC.
Warning
Expansion of access entitlement to other networks increases the risk of unau-
thorized access. It is therefore recommended that you deactivate remote
access again if you no longer require it.
