Forum 523/524 in a LAN
with an IP-enabled Server
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server, you should coordinate inte-
gration of the Forum 523/524 with the responsible network
administrator. You must decide on the IP address space to be
used and which network services (DHCP, DNS, RAS, Internet
access) the Forum 523/524 is to handle in the LAN.

The Forum 523/524 in a LAN with an IP-enabled server
In many cases, an IP-enabled server configures the IP settings via
DHCP for all workstations. In networks in which the IP settings are
made manually, you have to enter the corresponding IP settings
in the Forum 523/524 Configurator (Network: LAN menu).
Additionally you should change the DHCP server to static address
assignment (in the Network: DHCP menu) to enable the
Forum 523/524, for example to configure connected VoIP system
telephones. In certain cases you have to restrict the DHCP func-
tion of the IP-enabled server to ignore the MAC addresses for such
terminals.
Dynamic Address Assignment for Specific Devices
In addition to the static address assignment, you can also use
dynamic address assignment if you limit dynamic assignment to
specific devices. You can use this e.g. to easily configure VoIP
devices because you do not need to assign a fixed IP address dur-
ing setup.
