IP Configuration – Connecting to the LAN
Assigning the IP address
Select the necessary settings for operating your phone in your local network and
for connecting it to the Internet, if necessary. For more detailed explanations of the
individual components/terms, see the glossary in the user guide for the phone.
¤ Open the Settings ¢ IP Configuration Web page.
Address Assignment area
Specify the base's address in the LAN.
IP address type
Select Obtained automatically, if you want your phone to be assigned a
dynamic IP address by a DHCP server in your local network. No further settings
are needed. The following fields in this section are greyed out and deactivated.
Select Static if you would like to set up a static local 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 phone often requires a static IP address, e.g., if you
connect the phone directly to the PC.
The following fields are only activated if you select IP address type = Static:
IP address
Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows your phone to be
reached by other parties in your local network (e.g., PC).
192.168.2.2 is the default.
Please note:
– The IP address must be from the address block reserved for private use on 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 router's 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 through which the local network
is connected to 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 is the default.
14
Preferred DNS server
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System)
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 a 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 is the default.
Alternate DNS server (optional)
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situations where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.
¤ Select Set to save the changes.
Or
¤ Select Cancel to reject the changes.
After you have changed the IP configuration, the base is rebooted. You are logged
off the Web configurator. The Login Web page is displayed after the reboot.
Allowing access from other networks
The default setting for your phone only allows you to 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
Authorising access from other networks increases the risk of unauthorised
access. It is therefore recommended that you deactivate remote access if you no
longer require it.
¤ Open the Settings ¢ IP Configuration Web page.
Remote Management area
¤ Select Yes to authorise access from other networks.
To deactivate remote access, select No. Access is then limited to PCs in your own
local network.
¤ Enter a name for your base station in the Device Name in the Network field up
to 75 characters). The phone can be addressed with this name within the local
network.
Access to the Web configurator services from other networks is only possible if your
router is set accordingly. The router must pass on the service requests from "outside" to Port 80 (default port) of the phone. Be sure to read the user guide for your
router.
To establish a connection, the public IP address or the DNS name of the router and,
where applicable, the port number on the router must be indicated in the Web
browser of the remote PC.

Entering an HTTP proxy server (only when connected to an internal company network)
Direct connections between network subscribers and the Internet are often not
permitted within internal company or organisation networks (Intranet). In such
cases, all HTTP calls from the network are "transferred" by a proxy server. The proxy
server is a computer or program within the network.
If your phone is connected to such a network, you must store the address of this
HTTP proxy server on the phone and activate handling of HTTP calls via the HTTP
proxy server.
Only then will you be able to access the online directory or display weather information etc. (information services).
¤ Open the Settings ¢ IP Configuration Web page.
HTTP proxy area
Enable proxy
Select Yes if your phone is to handle HTTP calls via your network's HTTP proxy
server.
If you select No, the phone will attempt to access the Internet directly.
Proxy server address
Enter the URL of the proxy server to which your phone is to send HTTP calls.
The proxy server then creates the connection to the Internet.
Proxy server port
Enter the communication port used on the HT TP proxy server (number between
0 and 55,000). It is mainly port 80 that is used.
¤ Select Set to save your settings.
