Virtual LAN
This option allows you to configure Virtual
LAN settings. There are two selections to
choose from.
Selection
Virtual LAN ID
User Priority
IP Mode
This option allows you to specify
between dynamic and static IP.
Because most networks use dynamic
IP or Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP), the default IP setting
is dynamic IP. This means that your
broadband modem or router assigns a
new IP address to the SoundPoint IP
200W each time you turn on the phone.
However if you use static IP on your
network, the SoundPoint IP 200W must
also use static IP.
To change the IP mode:
1. In the Settings menu, choose
Network settings, and then press
the OK key.
2. Choose IP mode, and then press
the OK key.
3. Select Static, and then press the
Yes soft key when prompted to
save changes.
4. Press the Reset button on the rear
of the gateway for the changes to
take effect.
On some routers port forwarding must be enabled for the SoundPoint IP 200W
to work properly. If you use port forwarding, all incoming traffic is forwarded
to an internal IP address that you specify, and you must ensure that the router
assigns the same IP address to the SoundPoint IP 200W. For more information,
refer to your router's user manual.
