Configuring the system settings
Setting the base's IP address
in LAN
Prerequisite: Your base is connected to a
router or a PC
(
¢ page 16).
An IP address is required in order for the LAN
to "recognise" your base.
The IP address can be assigned to the base
automatically (by the router) or manually.
u If done dynamically, the router's DHCP
server automatically assigns an IP
address to the base. The base's IP address
can be changed according to router set-
tings.
u If done manually/statically, you assign a
static IP address to the base. This may be
necessary depending on your network
configuration (e.g., if your base is con-
nected directly to a PC).
You can also make local network settings via
the Web configurator.

~ Enter the current system PIN if
necessary and press
§OK§.
¤ You can enter data in the following fields:
IP Address Type
Select Static or Dynamic.
For IP Address Type Dynamic:
The following fields show the current set-
tings that the phone obtained from the
router. These settings cannot be
changed.
For IP Address Type Static:
You must manually define the IP address
and the subnet mask for the base in the
following fields, as well as the standard
gateway and DNS server.
For IP Address Type Static:
IP Address
Enter the IP address that is to be assigned
to the base (overwriting the current set-
tings).
192.168.2.1 is the default setting.
For information on the IP address,
see the glossary on
page 166.
Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask to be assigned to
the base (overwriting the current set-
tings).
The default setting is 255.255.255.0
For information on the subnet mask,
see the glossary on
page 170.
DNS Server
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS
server. The DNS server (Domain Name
System,
¢
page 163) converts the sym-
bolic name of a server (DNS name) into
the public IP address for the server when
the connection is made.
You can specify your router's IP address
here. The router forwards base address
requests to its DNS server.
192.168.2.1 is the default setting.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard
gateway
(
¢ page 165) through which
the local network is connected to the
Internet. This is generally the local (pri-
vate) IP address for your router (e.g.,
192.168.2.1). Your base requires this infor-
mation to access the Internet.
192.168.2.1 is the default setting.
¤ Press
§Save§ to save the settings.
Please note
To assign the IP address dynamically, the
DHCP server on the router must be acti-
vated. Please also read the user guide for
your router.
Please note
You can also make the settings for the
local network via the Web configurator
(
¢ operating instructions for the Web
configurator on the enclosed CD).
