CONFIGURING IP ADDRESSES

Setting the system IP settings

Each unit must be configured with a local IP address. These addresses are used to direct VoIP calls to
the appropriate location.
1. In the Management Software, select the IP Configuration page. By default, Obtain IP and DNS
information automatically is selected and the area shows IP addresses from the router.
2. Change Obtain IP and DNS information automatically to Use configured IP and DNS information in
order to lock in the IP addresses.
3. In some cases, the System IP Settings area may be blank because your router has not delivered
the IP addresses. If so, enter the following IP addresses from your LAN administrator:
a) Enter a static IP address for each unit in the Unit IP address boxes.
b) Enter the Subnet mask for the LAN. This address determines the subnet that the unit IP
addresses belong to.
c) Enter the IP address of the Default gateway on your network. A gateway is a hardware device
that connects the office network to the Internet. The router may act as default gateway.
d) Enter the IP address of the Preferred DNS server. DNS is a service that is used to resolve a
domain name to an IP address. The router may act as DNS server.
e) If applicable, enter the IP address of the Alternate DNS server.
