Addresses
Specify the IP address for the handset within the WLAN.
You have two options:
• An IP address is dynamically assigned to the handset. For this, the

DHCP Client must be activated at the access point/WLAN router of the

DHCP server and on the handset. The DHCP server (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol) assigns IP addresses to the network compon-

ents dynamically.

Please note: The IP address for the handset can change each time you

the WLAN. You will find the current IP address in the header on each

Web page.

To activate the DHCP Client on the handset, click on the option

Enable.

You then do not need to enter any further details for the addressing in

the WLAN. The settings for the WLAN router are used for the routing

and the preferred DNS server.

You can check the current IP address on the handset - see the user gui-

de for the handset on the product CD.

• A static IP address is assigned to the handset.

In this case you need to deactivate the DHCP Client on the handset.

This can be done by clicking on the option

Disable.

The Web page is reloaded. You must specify the address information

for the handset described in the following section in the fields on the

Web page.

Entering static IP address and additional address information

The following details must correspond to the settings on the WLAN router.

Handset IP Address

from an address block that is reserved for private use. This is generally the
range 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.254.
If the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (seeabove) is set, then the first three
parts of the static IP address must be identical for all subscribers to your
WLAN.
Enter the IP address for your handset that is set at the WLAN router.

Subnet Mask

You should use 255.255.255.0 for the mask. If necessary, check the setting
at the WLAN router.
