Assigning Networking Information To Ip Telephones; Assigning Ip Addressing Information; Registering Ip Telephones - Panasonic VL-VN1700 Installation Manual

Note
If an external DHCP server is in use, do not enable the DHCP Server feature. Doing so may allocate
inappropriate IP addressing information to the devices.
4.5 Assigning Networking Information to IP
Telephones
An IP telephone cannot be used unless it is registered in the User Container, even if the IP addressing
information is assigned to the telephone as explained in this section.

4.5.1 Assigning IP Addressing Information

The IP telephone's IP address, subnet mask address and default gateway address, as well as the IP
address of the registering Control Box must be assigned to the IP telephone before it can be used on the
network. This IP addressing information can be assigned in the following ways:
Using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) to automate the assignment
of IP addressing information
The IP address of the SIP phone, the subnet mask address, and the default gateway address can be
assigned to the SIP phone automatically by the DHCP server.
The Control Box's IP address must be assigned manually on the SIP phone side.
For instructions, refer to the documentation of the SIP phone.
Not using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) when assigning IP
addressing information
All of the IP addressing information must be assigned manually.
For instructions, refer to the documentation of the SIP phone.
Note
•
A SIP phone can only receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server on its own LAN.
Therefore, when SIP phones are located on several LANs, a DHCP server is required on each LAN.
•
When the DHCP client function is enabled for SIP phones, simply connect them to the LAN to use the
DHCP server. For details about the DHCP client function setting, refer to the documentation of the
SIP phone.
