•IP address and subnet mask settings of this unit
•IP addresses of the default gateway and DNS server used by this unit
Notes on the network accommodating this unit
•When using this unit in the Internet, it is basically required to obtain a global IP address.
•When using this unit in a corporate LAN, it cannot be connected to equipment outside the firewall. However, as calls may become possible by changing the settings of the router, please consult your network administrator for details. This unit uses a port number of 5060 (UDP) for SIP, and 57000 to 57010 (UDP) for RTP/RTCP.
•To prevent the audio from being interrupted, it is recommended to use a network that can offer enough transmission bandwidths. See “Specifications” (page 53) for details.
•If “CODEC Line Adapt” (page 31) is set to “Enable” and the allocation of transmission bandwidth descends during a call, this unit selects the optimum encoding method for the network situations automatically.
