12.4.1 Settings Tab

The Settings tab of the 'VLAN Properties' displays general communication parameters. It's
recommended to leave the values in this screen at their defaults unless you're familiar with
the networking concepts they represent. Since your Telephone Adapter is configured to
operate with the default values, no parameter modification is necessary. You can configure
the following general connection settings:

Select one of the following Internet Protocol options from the 'Internet Protocol' drop down
menu:

No IP Address

Obtain an IP Address Automatically

Use the Following IP Address
Note that according to the selection you make in the 'Internet Protocol' drop down menu,
the screen refreshes and displays relevant configuration settings.

No IP Address: Select 'No IP Address' if you require that your Telephone Adapter has
no IP address. This can be useful if you are working in an environment where you are
not connected to other networks, such as the Internet.

Obtain an IP Address Automatically: Your WAN connection is configured by default
to act as a DHCP client. You should keep this configuration in case your service
provider supports DHCP, or if you are connecting using a dynamic IP address. The
server that assigns the Telephone Adapter with an IP address also assigns a subnet
mask. You can override the dynamically assigned subnet mask by selecting the
'Override Subnet Mask' and specifying your own mask instead. You can click the
Release button to release the current leased IP address. Once the address has been
released, the button text changes to 'Renew'. Use the Renew button to renew the
leased IP address.

Use the Following IP Address: Your WAN connection can be configured using a
permanent (static) IP address. Your service provider should provide you with this IP
address, subnet mask and the default Telephone Adapter IP address.
Version 4.4.3
By default, the connection is always active. However, you can configure
scheduler rules in order to define time segments during which the connection
may be active. Once a scheduler rule(s) is defined (via Advanced>Scheduler
Rules), this field changes to a drop-down list, allowing you to choose between
the available rules. To configure scheduler rules, see Section 10.11.
Select whether the parameters you are configuring relate to a WAN, LAN or
DMZ connection, by selecting the connection type from the drop-down list. For
detailed information, see Section 4.2.
The physical address of the network card used for your network.
MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size
permitted for Internet transmission. In the default setting, Automatic, the
Telephone Adapter selects the best MTU for your Internet connection. In case
you change to manual, you can enter the largest packet size, you should leave
this value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
The Ethernet device that the connection is implemented over.
