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 128 bits and is represented by eight blocks of hexadecimal fig-
ures from 0 to FFFFFF that are separated by a colon, e.g., 2001:b021:189:0:205:5dff:fe6b:87.
The IP address comprises a prefix and an interface identifier. The length of the prefix (usu-
ally 64 bits) is determined by the Prefix Length value.
Prefix Length
The prefix length stipulates how many bits of the IP address are used for the network pre-
fix. Enter the prefix length that is used in your network.
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.
