The following fields are displayed when

you select

IP address type

Static

IP address

Enter an IP address for you phone. This

IP address allows your phone to be

reached by other subscribers in your

local network (e.g. PC).
192.168.2.2 has been preset.
Please note the following:
– The IP address must be from the

address block for private use that is

used in the router. This is generally

block 192.168.0.1 –

192.168.255.254 with

Subnet mask

255.255.255.0. The subnet mask

determines that the first three parts

of the IP address must be identical

for all subscribers in your LAN.

– The static IP address must not

belong to the address block (IP pool

range) that is reserved for the DHCP

server. In addition, it must not be

used by another device on the

router.

If necessary, check the settings on the

router.

Subnet mask

Enter the subnet mask for your device's

IP address. For addresses in the address

block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254.
The usual address for the subnet mask

255.255.255.0 is preconfigured in the

default settings.

Default gateway

Enter the IP address for the standard

gateway, by means of which the local

network is connected with the Internet.

This is generally the local (private) IP

address for your router. Your phone

requires this information to be able to

access the Internet.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.

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 connec-

tion 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 has been preset.

Alternate DNS server

(optional)

Enter the IP address for the alternative

DNS server that should be used in situ-

ations where the preferred DNS server

cannot be reached.

Allow access from other networks

The default setting for you phone is 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

Settings

IP Configuration

Web

page.

In the

Remote Management

area, activate

the option

Yes

to permit access from

other networks.
To deactivate remote access, click on

the

option. Access is then limited to

PCs in your own local network.

Warning:

Expansion of access entitlement to other net-

works increases the risk of unauthorised

access.
It is therefore recommended to deactivate

remote access again if you no longer need it.
