In the Address Assignment area, select the IP address type.
Select Obtained automatically to use a dynamic IP address assigned by a DHCP
server in your local network. No further settings are necessary for the local network.
Select Static 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.
The following fields are displayed when you select IP address type = Static:
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).
192.168.2.2 is the default.
Please note the following:
u
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 Subnet
mask 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask determines that the first three parts of the
IP address must be identical for all subscribers in your LAN.
u
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.
Default gateway
Enter the IP address for the default gateway uses to connect the local network to
the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your router (e.g.
192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to access the Internet.
192.168.2.1 is the default.
