Configuring settings for the local network

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).

The IP address comprises 128 bits and is represented by eight blocks of hexadecimal fig-

ures from 0 to FFFFFF that are separated by a colon, e.g., 2001:b021:189:0:205:5dff:fe6b:87.

The IP address comprises a prefix and an interface identifier. The length of the prefix (usu-

ally 64 bits) is determined by the Prefix Length value.

Prefix Length

The prefix length stipulates how many bits of the IP address are used for the network pre-

fix. Enter the prefix length that is used in your network.

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.

Once all the settings are complete, press the display key

settings.

VLAN tagging

A local network can be divided into logical subnetworks, so-called VLANs (Virtual Local Area

Network, standard IEEE 802.1Q). Multiple VLANs share a physical network and its compo-

nents, e.g., switches. Data packets of a VLAN are not forwarded to another VLAN. VLANs are

often used to separate the data traffic of different services (Internet telephony, Internet TV, ...)

and to define different priorities for the data traffic.

If you are operating your phone in a VLAN, enter the identifier of your VLAN (VLAN tag) here.

You get this from your network operator.

Warning

If you enter an incorrect value here, you must reset the phone to its default settings

(

page 92). After this you must re-establish phone access to the local network.
