Web configurator

Select Static if you would like to set up a static IP address for your phone. A static IP address is useful, for example, if port forwarding or a DMZ is set up on the router for the phone.

The following fields are displayed when you select IP address type = Static:

IP address

Enter an IP address for you phone. This IP address allows it to be reached by other subscribers in your local network (e.g. PC).

192.168.2.2 has been preset. Please note the following:

–The IP address must be from the address block for private use that is used in the router. This is generally in the range 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254 with Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask determines that the first three parts of the IP address must be identical for all subscribers in your LAN.

–The static IP address must not belong to the address block (IP pool range) that is reserved for the DHCP server. It must also not be used by another device on the router.

If necessary, check the settings on the router.

Subnet mask

Enter the subnet mask for your device's IP address. For addresses from the address block 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is generally used. This is preconfigured when the phone is supplied.

Default gateway

Enter the IP address for the standard gateway, by means of which the local network is connected with the Internet. This is generally the local (private) IP address for your router (e.g. 192.168.2.1). Your phone requires this information to be able to access the Internet.

192.168.2.1 has been preset.

Preferred DNS server

Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name Sys- tem) allows you to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names.

The DNS server is required to convert the DNS name into the IP address when connection is being established to a server.

You can specify your router's IP address here. The router forwards phone address requests to its DNS server.

192.168.2.1 has been preset.

Alternate DNS server (optional)

Enter the IP address for the alternative DNS server that should be used in situations where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.

Click on Set to save the changes. Click on Cancel to reject the changes.

Allow access from other networks

The default setting for you phone is that you can only access your phone's Web configurator via a PC that is in the same local network as your phone. The subnet mask of the PC must match that of the phone.

You can also allow access from PCs in other networks.

Warning:

Expansion of access entitlement to other networks increases the risk of unauthorised access.

It is therefore recommended to deactivate remote access again if you no longer need it.

¤Open the following Web page

Settings ¢IP Configuration.

¤In the Remote Management area, activate the option Yes to permit access from other networks.

To deactivate remote access, click on the No option. Access is then limited to PCs in your own local network.
