IP Configuration – Connecting to the LAN

Assigning the IP address

Select the necessary settings for operating your phone in your local network and
for connecting it to the Internet, if necessary. For more detailed explanations of the
individual components/terms, see the glossary in the user guide for the phone.
¤
Open the Settings
Address Assignment area
Specify the base's address in the LAN.
IP address type
Select Obtained automatically, if you want your phone to be assigned a
dynamic IP address by a DHCP server in your local network. No further settings
are needed. The following fields in this section are greyed out and deactivated.
Select Static if you would like to set up a static local IP address for your phone.
A static IP address is useful, for example, if port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on
the router for the phone. The phone often requires a static IP address, e.g., if you
connect the phone directly to the PC.
The following fields are only activated if you select IP address type = Static:
IP address
Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows your phone to be
reached by other parties in your local network (e.g., PC).
192.168.2.2 is the default.
Please note:
– The IP address must be from the address block reserved for private use on the
router. This is generally in the range 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254 with
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask determines that the first three
parts of the IP address must be identical for all subscribers in your LAN.
– The static IP address must not belong to the address block (IP pool range)
that is reserved for the router's DHCP server. It must also not be used by
another device on the router.
If necessary, check the settings on the router.
Subnet mask
Enter the subnet mask for your device's IP address. For addresses from the
address block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is
generally used. This is preconfigured when the phone is supplied.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address for the standard gateway through which the local network
is connected to the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for
your router (e.g., 192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to be able to
access the Internet.
192.168.2.1 is the default.
