VSP600/VSP601 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

Network Requirements

A switched network topology is recommended for your LAN (using standard 10/100
Ethernet switches that carry traffic at a nominal rate of 100 Mbit/s).
The office LAN infrastructure should use Cat.-5/Cat.-5e cable.
The base station requires a wired connection to the LAN. However, wireless
connections to other devices (such as laptops) in your office will not impede
performance.
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is recommended and must be
on the same subnet as the base station so that an IP address can be auto-assigned.
In most cases, your network router will have a DHCP server. By default, the base
station has DHCP enabled for automatic IP address assignment.
NOTE: Some DHCP servers have default settings that limit the number of network IP
addresses assigned to devices on the network. You should log in to your server to
confirm that the IP range is sufficient.
If no DHCP server is present, you can assign a static IP to the base station. You can
assign a static IP address using the WebUI. See Basic Network Settings on page 37.
If you do not have a DHCP server or do not manually assign a static IP, you will not
be able to access the WebUI and/or enable automatic time updates from an NTP
server.
A DNS server is recommended to resolve the path to the Internet and to a server for
firmware and configuration updates. If necessary, the system administrator can also
download upgrade files and use the WebUI to update the base station firmware
and/or configuration settings manually.
