a DHCP server in your local network. No further settings are necessary for the local net-
work.
Select Static if you would like to set up a static IP address for your phone. A static IP address
is useful, for example, if port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on the router for the phone.
The following fields are displayed when you select
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).
192.168.2.2 has been preset.
Please note the following:
– The IP address must be from the address block for private use that is used in the
router. This is generally in the range 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254 with
255.255.255.0. The subnet mask determines that the first three parts of the IP
mask
address must be identical for all subscribers in your LAN.
– The static IP address must not belong to the address block (IP pool range) that is
reserved for the DHCP server of the router. It must also not be used by another device
on the router.
If necessary, check the settings on the router.
Subnet mask
Enter the subnet mask for your device's IP address. For addresses from the address block
192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is generally used.
This is preconfigured when the phone is supplied.
Default gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard gateway, by means of which the local network is
connected with 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.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.
Preferred 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 con-
vert the DNS name into the IP address when connection is being established to a server.
You can specify your router's IP address here. The router forwards phone address
requests to its DNS server.
192.168.2.1 has been preset.
