Using a Static IP Address Specified by Your Network Administrator
If IP addresses for network devices are specified individually by your network administrator, you will need to
manually configure settings such as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers from
either the base unit or one of the handsets.
For details about the required network settings, consult your network administrator.
DNS Server Settings
You can configure the unit to use 2 DNS servers: a primary DNS server and a secondary DNS server. If you
set both DNS servers, the primary DNS server receives priority over the secondary DNS server. If the primary
DNS server returns no reply, the secondary DNS server will be used.
For details about configuring the DNS server settings using the base unit and handsets, or using the Web user
interface, see Configuring the Network Settings of the Unit in this section.
DNS Priority Using Configuration File
The setting for DNS server(s) may be configured using the configuration files by your phone system dealer
(® see "DNS1_ADDR" and "DNS2_ADDR" in 4.4.2 DNS Settings).
•If the DNS server addresses specified in the configuration file (® see "DNS_PRIORITY" in 4.4.2 DNS
Settings) are given priority, the unit first sends its requests to those DNS servers. If a match is not found,
the unit then sends its request to the DNS servers that were specified by the DHCP server, or the primary/
secondary DNS servers that were specified on the unit or via the Web user interface.
•If the DNS servers that were specified by the DHCP server, or the primary/secondary DNS servers that
were specified on the unit or via the Web user interface are given priority, the unit first sends its requests
to those DNS servers. If a match is not found, the unit then sends its request to the DNS servers that were
specified using the configuration file.
Configuring the Network Settings of the Unit
The following procedures explain how to change the network settings via each interface.
For details about the individual network settings that can be configured via the base unit and handsets, or using
the Web user interface, refer to the Quick Guide on the Panasonic Web site (® see Introduction) or see
3.4.1 Basic Network Settings.
