Please note the following:
– 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
255.255.255.0. The subnet mask

– 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 standard
gateway, by means of which the local
network is connected with 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 be able to access the
Internet.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.
Preferred DNS server
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 connec-
tion 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.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.
(optional)
Alternate DNS server
Enter the IP address for the alternative
DNS server that should be used in situ-
ations where the preferred DNS server
cannot be reached.
