Configuring phone settings via the Web configurator
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask specifies how many parts of an IP address the network prefix must com-
prise.
For example, 255.255.255.0 means that the first three parts of an IP address must be the
same for all devices in the network, while the last part is specific to each device. In subnet
mask 255.255.0.0, only the first two parts are reserved for the network prefix. Enter the
subnet mask that is used by your network.
Standard Gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard gateway through which the local network is con-
nected to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your router/gate-
way (e.g., 192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to be able to access the Inter-
net.
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 the IP address for your router/gateway here. This forwards address
requests from the phone to its DNS server.
There is no default setting for a DNS server.
Alternate DNS Server
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situations where
the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.
