Network Config
IP Address
There are two modes in which the Wireless Telephone can operate: DHCP enabled or Static IP.
Select the mode for operation from the IP Address menu:
* Use DHCP
: will use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol to assign an IP Address
each time the Wireless Telephone is turned on. If DHCP is enabled, the Wireless
Telephone also receives all other IP Address configurations from the DHCP server.
Static IP
: allows you to manually set a fixed IP Address. If selected, the Wireless
Telephone will prompt for the IP Addresses of each configurable network component.
When entering addresses, enter the digits only, including leading zeroes. No periods are
required.
Regardless of the mode in which the Wireless Telephone is operating, the following
components must be configured:
Phone IP
– the IP Address of the Wireless Telephone. This is automatically assigned if
DHCP is used. If using Static IP configuration, you must obtain a unique IP Address for
each phone from your network administrator.
TFTP Server IP
– the IP address of a TFTP server on your network which holds software
images for updating the Wireless Telephones. If this feature is configured (not set to
0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255) with either Static IP configuration or using DHCP option
66 (TFTP Server), or the Boot server/next server (siaddr) field, the Wireless Telephone
will check for newer software each time it is powered on or comes back into range of
your network. This check takes only a second and ensures that all Wireless Telephones
in your network are kept up-to-date with the same version of software.
Default Gateway and Subnet Mask
– used to identify subnets, when using a complex
network which includes routers. Both of these must be configured either with an IP
address under Static IP (not set to 000.000.000.000 or 255.255.255.255) or with DHCP
for the Wireless Telephone to contact any network components on a different subnet. If
configured on the DHCP server, use option 3 for the Default Gateway and option 1 for
the Subnet Mask. Contact your network administrator for the proper settings for your
network.

Note that the Wireless Telephones cannot “roam” across subnets,
since they cannot change their IP address while operational. Ensure
that all your access points are attached to the same subnet for proper
operation. The Wireless Telephone can change subnets if DHCP is
enabled and the Wireless Telephone is powered off then back on
when within range of access points on the new subnet.
Syslog Server IP
– the IP address of the syslog server. See the Diagnostics section for
more information.
