Establishing a connection via the phone's IP address
¤
Determining a telephone's current IP address via one of the registered handsets:
You can see the phone's current IP address in the handset display by briefly
pressing the registration/paging button on the base.
Your phone's IP address can change if you have activated dynamic IP address
assignment
Warning
If one of the four parts of the IP address contains leading zeros (e.g., 002), these
zeros must not be entered in the Web browser address field. Otherwise, the Web
browser will not be able to establish a connection to the Web configurator.
Example: The IP address 192.168.002.002 is displayed on the phone. 192.168.2.2
should be entered in the address field.
¤
Launch the Web browser on your PC.
¤
Enter http:// and the telephone's current IP address (for example: http://
192.168.2.2) into the address field of the Web browser.
¤
Press the return key.
