Address assignment by DHCP -Recommended configuration - (Default setting)
Address assignment via DHCP is the easiest configuration method for the PABX system and at the clients (PCs).
You can configure a LAN client in the network such that it automatically receives its IP address from a DHCP server
from the PABX system on startup. In this case, you do not have to enter an IP address or subnetwork mask in the con-
figuration of the LAN client.
Things to note for this configuration.
PABX:
In its initial setting the PABX system is pre-configured for address assignment via DHCP.
You need to choose an ISP. To do this follow the instructions given in the manual, or the brochure »On the fast track
to the Internet«.
Note
When delivered, the DHCP server is already activated and pre-configured. If required you can define the start ad-
dress (first IP address allocated by DHCP) and the maximum number of LAN clients (PCs).
LAN-Client (PC) Configuration:
PCs with operating systems starting from Windows 98SE are already correctly configured in their standard settings
for address assignment via DHCP.
If other means of Internet connection, for example modem or an ISDN card, have already been configured on the
LAN client (PC) observe the information given in the section»Settings in Internet Explorer / Internet Options with
Windows« in this manual.
Note
Please keep in mind that any changes made to the Windows network settings may have serious effects on the LAN
clients (PCs). Other methods of connection or applications may also be affected by these changes. In the event that
your network settings have already been changed contact your system administrator. You may have to backup all of
your data. The configuration presented in the following represents only one of many possibilities. These settings
are recommended. However, depending on the infrastructure of your environment, it may be meaningful to choose
a different configuration.
If you need to reset the Windows network settings to their standard (default) status proceed as follows:
Example Windows 98SE /ME:
·
Open the Control Panel from the Windows Start Menu.
·
Windows 98SE: Open the folder »Network«.
·
Windows ME: Right-click on »LAN connection« and then click on »Properties«.
·
Select »TCP/IP« and click »Properties«.
