Setting the Network
When the media phone is connected to a network, you can set the network type and the
access mode based on your requirement.
The network settings are associated with the authentication of the media
phone. Therefore, do not change the settings if not required. Otherwise, you
may not be able to use the services properly.
The media phone supports the following network types:
z
When you use the network cable to access a broadband network, select Ethernet.
z
When you use Wi-Fi to access a broadband network, select Wi-Fi.
The Wi-Fi type is classified into two modes:
z
Basic mode: The access point is selected by searching in the wireless network.
z
Point-to-point mode: The access point is selected by entering the SSID.
If you want to set a WEP key for the access point, you need to tap
Advanced, and then Set WEP Key, to set the WEP key. The WEP key
must be same as the parameters of the access point, or you will fail to
access the Wi-Fi.
Each network type supports the following three access modes:
z
Static IP: In this mode, set a fixed IP address for the media phone based on the IP
address of the access gateway. As the gateway support the routing function, no
dial-up connection is required for network access.
z
Advantage: The IP address of the media phone is fixed and thus maintenance is
easy.
z
Disadvantage: When the gateway settings are changed, you need to reset the
network parameters of the media phone.
z
DHCP: The access gateway assigns an IP address automatically to the media phone.
To access the network, the gateway needs to activate the DHCP service and support
the routing function. No dial-up connection is required for network access.
z
Advantages: The operations are easy and the network parameters of the media
phone do not need to be reset when the gateway setting is changed.
z
Disadvantage: The IP address of the media phone is not fixed.
49
HUAWEI MC850/MC851 Media Phone User Guide 11 User Settings
z
PPPoE: When the access gateway is in bridge mode, a dial-up connection is
required. Therefore, when you use this mode, you need to contact your service
provider for the account and password of the dial-up connection.
z
Advantage: The broadband network is exclusively occupied by the media phone,
and thus the bandwidth is stable.
