Setting Up the IP 705 Phone
To set up the IP 705 phone, follow these instructions:
1. Gather network settings information (this information is needed to
configure the IP 705):
• AltiWare server IP address
• IP 705 phone’s IP address
This address is needed if your company does not use Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which automatically assigns IP
addresses to devices when they are connected to the network. The
phone’s IP address can be obtained from your system administrator.
2. Connect the IP 705:
a. Connect the phone to the LAN that AltiServ is on.
b. Connect the handset to the handset port.
c. Connect the power plug to the DC port.
Note: If you want to use Power over Ethernet, see “To Use IP 705
in Power over Ethernet Mode” on page 17.
3. Configure startup network settings. (To display the phone’s menu, as
required below, press the Menu button on the phone. Use the /
buttons to scroll the menus and settings in the LCD screen. Press the
Enter button to select a menu item or a setting.)
If you are using DHCP, ensure that DHCP is enabled on the IP 705
phone: Menu > NETWORK > ENABLE DHCP > Yes. (DHCP is
enabled by default.)
If your company does not use DHCP, disable DHCP on the IP 705
phone: Menu > NETWORK > ENABLE DHCP > No. In this case,
configure the following network settings on the IP 705 after setting up
the phone:
• Local IP address
• IP subnet mask
• Gateway IP address
