Connecting the base to the local network (LAN/router)
You can find the functions for connecting to the LAN on the Web page:
Settings
In most cases, special settings are not required to connect the phone to the router/
a local network. Your phone is preconfigured for dynamic assignment of the IP
address by default (DHCP). In order for your router to "recognise" the phone,
dynamic IP address assignment must also be activated on the router, i.e., the
router's DHCP server must be activated.
If the DHCP server cannot or should not be activated, you must assign a fixed/static
IP address to the phone
port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on the router for the phone.
You can also assign a static IP address via a handset.
You can also use the Web configurator to make further settings that are required if
you connect your phone to a large (company-wide or organisation-wide) network,
or if you want to manage the phone remotely using the Web configurator. You can:
u
Store VLAN Identifier/VLAN Priority for access to a tagged VLAN.
u
Allow PCs outside your LAN to connect to the Web configurator.
Warning
u
Authorising access from other networks increases the risk of unauthorised
access. It is therefore recommended that you disable remote access if you no
longer require it.
u
The Web configurator can only be accessed from other networks if your
router passes on the service requests from "outside" to port 80 (the default
port) of the phone. Make sure you read the user manual for your router.
