In the Address Assignment area, select the IP address type.
Select Obtained automatically if you want your phone to be assigned a dynamic IP
address by a DHCP server in your local network. No further settings are necessary
for the local network.
Select Static if you would like to set up a static local IP address for your phone. A
static IP address is useful, for example, 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 has been preset.
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 standard gateway, by means of which the local network
is connected 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 be able to access
the Internet.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.
