You can display and edit the following fields (depending on the address type):
Set IP mode
Select DHCP, FIXED or PPPoE.
u
Select DHCP if you want your phone to be assigned a dynamic IP address by
a DHCP server. No further settings are necessary for the local network.
u
Select FIXED if you would like to set up a static local IP address for your
phone. A static IP address is, for example, useful if port forwarding or a DMZ
is set up on the router for the phone.
u
Select PPPoE if you want to connect your phone directly to a VoIP server.
You will receive a user name and a password from your provider.
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 default setting is 172.23.56.253.
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 in the range 192.168.0.1 –
192.168.255.254 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The subnet
mask determines that the first three parts of the IP address must be iden-
tical 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 of the router. It must also not be used
by another device on the router.
If necessary, check the settings on the router.
Subnet mask
Enter the phone's subnet mask
Default gateway
Enter the standard gateway address (usually the router's IP address).
