Configuring the phone via the Web configurator
Default gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard gateway, by means of which the local
network is connected to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP
address for your router (e.g., 192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this infor-
mation to be able to access the Internet.
The default setting is 172.23.56.254.
Preferred DNS Address
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name Sys-
tem) allows you to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS
server is required to convert the DNS name into the IP address when a con-
nection is being established to a server.
You can specify your router's IP address here. The router forwards phone
address requests to its DNS server.
There is no default setting for a DNS server.
Alternate DNS Address (optional)
Enter the IP address for the alternative DNS server that should be used in sit-
uations where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.
u Select PPPoE if you want to connect your phone directly to a DSL server.
You will receive a user name and a password from your provider. Enter the
appropriate data. The DNS server address will be assigned automatically, or you
can enter it manually.
LAN (router mode only)
Assign the address for your phone's LAN port.
NAT (router mode only)
Adjust the settings for a NAT server.
