Configuring the phone via the Web configurator

Functions of the Web configurator

Connecting the base to the local network (LAN/router)
You can find the functions for connecting to the LAN on the web page:
¤
Settings IP Configuration
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 ( page 54). A fixed IP address is useful, for example, if port forwarding or a DMZ
is set up on the router for the phone.
You can also assign a static IP address via the 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
Specify the address of a HTTP proxy server within the LAN that the phone can use to establish
connections to the Internet if direct access is not allowed in the LAN.
u
Store VLAN Identifier / VLAN Priority for access to a tagged VLAN.
u
Allow PCs outside your LAN to connect to the Web configurator.
Caution
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 guide for your router.
Making security settings – managing certificates for TLS authentication
The phone supports the establishment of secure data connections on the Internet with the TLS
security protocol (Transport Layer Security). With TLS, the client (the phone) uses certificates to
identify the server. These certificates must be stored on the base.
You can manage TLS certificates using the web page:
¤
Settings Network
On this page you will find the Server Certificates / CA Certificates lists. They contain the
certificates saved in the base. The certificates have either already been saved on the base by
default, or you have downloaded them to your base via the Security web page.
The Invalid Certificates list contains the certificates received from servers that have not passed
the certificate check when establishing a connection, and certificates from the Server
Certificates / CA Certificates lists that have become invalid (e.g. because they have expired).
You can remove certificates and download new certificates to the base, and you can also accept
or reject invalid certificates.
