IP Address
Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows your phone to be reached by
other subscribers in your local network (e.g., PC).
The IP address comprises four individual groups of numbers with decimal values from 0 to
255 that are separated by a dot, e.g., 192.168.2.1.
Please note:
– The IP address must be included in the address block used by the router for the local
network. The valid address block is defined by the router's IP address and the subnet
mask (see example).
– The IP address must be unique in the local network, which means that it must not be
used by another device connected to the router.
– The static IP address must not belong to the address block that is reserved for the
router's DHCP server.
Check the settings on the router or ask your network administrator.
Example:
Router IP address:
Network subnet mask
DHCP server address block
Possible IP addresses for the phone
Subnet Mask:
The subnet mask specifies how many parts of an IP address the network prefix must com-
prise.
For example, 255.255.255.0 means that the first three parts of the IP address must be the
same for all devices in the network, while the last part is specific to each device. In subnet
mask 255.255.0.0, only the first two parts are reserved for the network prefix. Enter the
subnet mask that is used by your network.
Standard Gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard gateway through which the local network is con-
nected to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your router (e.g.,
192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to be able to access the Internet.
Pref. DNS Server
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System) allows you
to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS server is required to convert the
DNS name into the IP address when a connection is being established to a server.
You can specify the IP address for your router/gateway here. This forwards address
requests from the phone to its DNS server.
There is no default setting for a DNS server.
Altern. DNS Server
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situations where
the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.
