Configuring the phone via the Web configurator

IP allocation
Select the necessary settings for operating your phone in your local network

and to connect it to the Internet. For more detailed explanations of the individ-

ual components/terms, see the glossary (

¢

page 73).

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 Static IP 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.

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 subnet mask for your device's IP address. For addresses from the

address block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254, the subnet mask

255.255.255.0 is generally used. This is preconfigured when the phone is

supplied.
