System information

Handsets 2210/2211 handsets use the same WLAN IP Telephony Manager
as the WLAN Handset 2212 (VPN). This WLAN IP Telephony Manager
is on the other (remote) side of the VPN Router from the handsets, that
is, over a routed hop.

WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 in a NAT environment

The IP Telephony Manager 2245 must be in constant communication with
the handsets to ensure handset functionality. Since the IP Telephony
Manager 2245 must be on the same subnet as the handsets, the IP
Telephony Manager 2245 must be located on the private side of the NAT
router. The wireless VoIP network does not function if the IP Telephony
Manager 2245 is located on the public side of the NAT router.

Port 10000 is used for bidirectional UDP traffic between the handset alias
IP addresses of the IP Telephony Manager 2245 and the Echo Server on
the TPS used for NAT detection. Any network security devices that monitor
network traffic between the IP Telephony Manager 2245 and the Signaling
Server(s) must be configured to allow traffic using port 10000 to pass freely
between these devices.

DHCP Server location in a NAT environment

The WLAN Handsets only support Full DHCP. The device acting as a
DHCP Server to the WLAN Handsets must be configurable to send the
vendor-specific DHCP fields.

In some cases, the NAT router acts as the DHCP Server. In this case,
configure the NAT router with the required DHCP parameters and necessary
information.

If a separate DHCP Server is used, it must be located on the private side
of the network. See

Figure 21 "Network configuration 3 (with Full DHCP

Server)" (page 89)

for more information.
