Whether your LAN uses DHCP or static addresses, you can set the MAX 4' s LAN configuration in either

of two ways:

Through the unit' s console (serial) port

Section 2.1 explains how to connect your Web browser to the Net2Phone MAX 4 if your LAN uses

DHCP addressing. If your LAN uses static IP addresses, skip to Section 2.2, below.

The Net2Phone MAX 4' s default configuration is for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

Therefore, if your LAN is using DHCP, the Net2Phone MAX 4' s IP address parameters were configured

automatically when you connected it to the LAN. In this case, you only need to know the IP address that

was assigned to the unit by the LAN before you can browse the MAX Web Manager, MAX 4' s Web-

based configuration system. If your LAN is using DHCP, configuring the Net2Phone MAX 4 will entail

the following steps:

1. Obtain the MAX 4' s current IP address.

2. Log in to the MAX Web Manager.

3. Set the required configuration parameters in the MAX Web Manager.
