IPv6 configuration
IP Address Type
¤
Select Auto Configuration if your device receives the IP address via a DHCP server.
¤
Select Static if your device receives a fixed IP address.
If Auto Configuration is selected, all further settings are made automatically. They are dis-
played here and cannot be changed.
If you selected Static as the address type, you must create the following settings:
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
figures 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
(usually 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
prefix. Enter the prefix length that is used in your network.
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 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.
Alternate 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.
