4.3.1 Assigning IP Addressing Information
For KX-UT Series SIP Phones
•
Using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) to automate the assignment
of IP addressing information
The DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address of the SIP phone, the subnet mask address, and
the default gateway address to the SIP phone.
The PBX's IP address can also be assigned automatically to the SIP phone in the process of being
registered to the PBX. For details about registering the SIP phone, refer to "4.3.2 Registering IP
Telephones".
Note
For information about the DHCP Server feature, refer to "8.1.2 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) Server" in the Installation Manual.
•
Not using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) when assigning IP
addressing information
Only the PBX's IP address can be assigned automatically to the SIP phone in the process of being
registered to the PBX. For details about registering the SIP phone, refer to "4.3.2 Registering IP
Telephones".
The IP address of the SIP phone, the subnet mask address, and the default gateway address must be
assigned manually.
For instructions, refer to the documentation of the SIP phone.
Note
•
When the PBX is not in the same network as the SIP phone, the IP address of the PBX must be
assigned manually. For instructions on manually setting PBX network information, refer to
"Assigning the IP address of the PBX to a SIP phone" in "5.7.1 Assigning IP Addressing
Information" in the Installation Manual.
•
When assigning IP addressing information to the SIP phone, do not use the phone's Web user
interface programming.
For Non-KX-UT Series SIP Phones
•
Using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) to automate the assignment
of IP addressing information
The IP address of the SIP phone, the subnet mask address, and the default gateway address can be
assigned to the SIP phone automatically by the DHCP server.
The PBX's IP address must be assigned manually on the SIP phone side.
For instructions, refer to the documentation of the SIP phone.
•
Not using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) when assigning IP
addressing information
All of the IP addressing information must be assigned manually.
For instructions, refer to the documentation of the SIP phone.
Note
•
A SIP phone can only receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server on its own LAN.
Therefore, when SIP phones are located on several LANs, a DHCP server is required on each
LAN.
•
When the DHCP client function is enabled for SIP phones, simply connect them to the LAN to use
the DHCP server. For details about the DHCP client function setting, refer to the documentation of
the SIP phone.
