You are on a call. With a consultation call, you interrupt the conversation briefly
to establish a second connection to another participant. If you terminate the
connection to this participant immediately, then this was a consultation call. If
you switch between the first and second participant, it is called Toggling.

The phone contains a DHCP client. A router that contains a DHCP server can

With some routers you can specify that the IP address for the phone is never
changed.

DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
DMZ describes a part of a network that is outside the firewall.
A DMZ is set up, as it were, between a network you want to protect (e.g. a LAN)
and a non-secure network (e.g. the Internet). A DMZ permits unrestricted
access from the Internet to only one or a few network components, while the
other network components remain secure behind the firewall.
DNS
Domain Name System
Hierarchical system that permits the assignment of
names that are easier to memorise. This assignment has to be managed by a
local DNS server in each (W)LAN. The local DNS server determines the IP
address, if necessary by enquiring about superordinate DNS servers and other
local DNS servers on the Internet.
You can specify the IP address of the primary/secondary DNS server.
