Accessing and modifying the LAN Network Settings 27

Step Action

1From Main Menu, select Settings > Profile > LAN > Settings > Network Settings, and press OK to accept.

2Select the appropriate configuration options and set network parameters (specific to your network configuration) for the LAN connection profile:

a.Details: Displays the network configuration parameters (MAC address, DHCP, IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS) as currently configured on the IP Phone 1535.

b.DHCP: Used to configure DHCP server information (for DHCP-enabled network environments) or static IP Address information (for DHCP-disabled network environments).

DHCP must be disabled to access further configuration options (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS1/DNS2 options). If you enable DHCP, these options are automatically configured (through the network DHCP server) after the IP Phone 1535 connects to the network.

If manually configuring the DHCP options, the IP Phone 1535 attempts to connect to the network using the parameters you set. Should a connection failure occurs when using your manual DHCP values, the IP Phone 1535 retains its current configuration values. Check your values for correctness and retry the connection.

c.IP Address: View or change network IP address information.

d.Subnet Mask: View or change the Subnet Mask information.

e.Gateway: View or change the default Gateway Address information.

f.DNS1/DNS2: View or change the primary (DNS1) and secondary (DNS2) Domain Name Servers.

ATTENTION

For changes made in any of these configuration options to take effect, you must hit Back to return to the previous menu, and select Apply every time you make a change.
