IP Office Configuration

DNS

Domain Name System (DNS), an industry-standard protocol, locates computers on an IP-based network. IP networks rely on number-based addresses to move information on the network. However, users are better at remembering friendly names than number-based addresses, so, it is necessary to translate user-friendly names into addresses that the network can recognize. The wireless phone will use DNS to automatically translate names into IP addresses for these components: TFTP server, AVPP and IP Office.

Entering an Extension and Password

Several conditions (new phone, Extension Error, Password Error, and Extension in use) can result in the wireless phone asking the user for a new extension and password. The entry process is described below. When a new extension or password is being entered, the asterisk (*) key can be used to back up and correct an error.

The wireless phone will display:

Ext. =XXX #=OK New =

At this point, a new extension can be entered, or if # is pressed, the wireless phone will retain the current extension.

After a new extension is entered, press # to continue.

The wireless phone will then display:

Password = ********

# = OK

A new password can be entered at this time, or if # is pressed, the wireless phone will continue with its current password.

After a new password is entered, press # to continue.

Extension Error

If the IP Office unit (or all, if there is more than one) does not recognize the extension that the phone is trying to register with, the wireless phone will display:

Extension Error

This will last 5 seconds, and then the wireless hone will ask the user to enter a new extension and password.
