Broadband Modem Only

This section applies only in the instance that the broadband connection is used exclusively with the DVC-1000 Video phone and there are no PCs or other devices connected to the broadband modem.)

Recommended Procedure: Many ISPs act as DHCP servers and dynamically assign a public IP address whenever the modem requests one. If your ISP has a DHCP server, select the checkbox under the network settings that says, “Automatically obtain IP address.” By choosing this option, you are not required to know the IP address, gateway, subnet mask, or DNS numbers. They will all be filled in automatically.

If DHCP is not an option, all of the networking values will have to be manually entered. Simply enter the public IP address, subnet Mask, gateway, and DNS numbers given to you by the ISP into the appropriate network settings fields.

Potential Issues: In order for the DVC-1000 Video Phone to function properly over the Internet, there must exist a public IP address for the world to see. If your ISP is acting as a NAT and assigning private IP addresses, you will have to request a public IP address in order for your Video Phone to be able to receive calls.
