Connecting the base to the local network (LAN/router)
You can find the functions for connecting to the LAN on the Web page:
Settings ¢ Network ¢ IP Configuration
In most cases, special settings are not required to connect the phone to the router/a local
network. Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP address by
default (DHCP). In order for your router to "recognise" the phone, dynamic IP address
assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e., the router's DHCP server must be
activated.
If the DHCP server cannot or should not be activated, you must assign a fixed/static IP
address to the phone (
£ page 78). A fixed IP address is useful, for example, if port for-
warding or a DMZ is set up on the router for the phone.
You can also assign a static IP address via a handset.
The [Show Advanced Settings] button provides access to settings that you need if you
connect your phone to a large (company-wide or organisation-wide) network, or if you
want to manage the phone remotely using the Web configurator.
You can:
u Specify the address of a HTTP proxy server within the LAN that the phone can use to
establish connections to the Internet if direct access is not allowed in the LAN.
u Store VLAN Identifier/VLAN Priority for access to a tagged VLAN.
u Allow PCs outside your LAN to connect to the Web configurator.
Warning
u Authorising access from other networks increases the risk of unauthorised access.
It is therefore recommended that you disable remote access if you no longer
require it.
u The Web configurator can only be accessed from other networks if your router
passes on the service requests from "outside" to port 80 (the default port) of the
phone. Make sure you read the user manual for your router.
