Connecting the Net2Phone MAX 4 to your LAN

Connecting the MAX 4 to a LAN using DHCP

The Net2Phone MAX 4's default configuration is for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol). Therefore, if your LAN is using DHCP, the Net2Phone MAX 4's IP address
parameters were configured automatically when you connected it to the LAN. In this case,
you only need to know the IP address that was assigned to the unit by the LAN before you
can browse the MAX Web Manager, MAX 4's Web-based configuration system.
If your LAN is using DHCP, configuring the Net2Phone MAX 4 will entail the following steps:
1. Obtain the MAX 4's current IP address.
2. Log into the MAX Web Manager.
3. Set the required configuration parameter s via the MAX Web Manager.

Querying the MAX 4's DHCP IP address from a telephone keypad

When the Net2Phone MAX 4 is connected to a DHCP network, the current IP address can be
queried from a telephone keypad. To use this procedure, you will need a standard analog
corded or cordless touch-tone telephone.
1. Get a pencil and paper to write down the IP address.
2. Connect an analog telephone to any RJ-11 port on the MAX 4.
3. Pick up the telephone handset and dial ***1. The voice prompt responds, "Your
address is..." and the IP address is announced.
4. Write down the address and hang up the telephone. If you need to hear the address
again, hang up the telephone, then repeat step 3, above.
If your LAN is using DHCP addresses, you can now finish configuring your system
using t h e MAX Web Manager. Proceed to "Logging in to the MAX Web Manager,"
below.

Connecting the MAX 4 to a LAN with static addresses

Before you can begin configuring the MAX 4 for a LAN with static addresses, you need to
know:
? ? the static IP address LAN administ r ator intends to assign, and
? ? the LAN's net mask address.
Be sure to have these values at hand before you begin.
The process will entail the following steps:
1. Disable DHCP in the MAX 4.
2. Enter a static IP address.
3. Enter a net mask address.
