2.1.3 Network Requirements
The PC should be configured and tested for TCP/IP networking.
We strongly recommend that the voicemail server PC is connected to the IP Office Control Unit directly or via a LAN
switch.
If directly connected, changing the settings of the PC network card to match the IP Office control unit can resolve some
issues. This should be done according to the PC or network card manufacturer's instructions. The options for IP Office LAN
ports are:
·IP412: Use LAN1 and half duplex.
·Small Office Edition, IP406 (V2) and IP500: Full duplex.
·All IP Office LAN ports are 10Mbps/100Mbps auto sensing.
If not directly connected, using any of the above settings must be supported and matched by the intervening network
equipment.
·The PC should have a fixed IP address. Although PCs in a DHCP network may retain the same IP address between
reboots this is not guaranteed.
·If the IP Office is acting as a DHCP server, it defaults to using 192.168.42.2 to 192.168.42.201 for DHCP clients.
This leaves 192.168.42.202 to 192.168.42.254 for devices that require fixed IP addresses.
