5. If the AP requires no encryption or authentication, you can just press the OK button. However , if
encryption or authentication is required, you can press on the Down Key to move to the
Authentication field, and use the Forward and Backward Keys to select the authentication
setting. Repeat the same procedure for the Encryption field. If the network key is

Figure 12. AP connection status
8. At this point, pressing the OK Key will bring the phone back to Normal Mode, displaying the
Main Screen with the newly obtained IP address on the top left corner and the middle of the
screen.
IP Address Info
When the phone is in Normal Mode, the screen should display the IP address on the top left corner of
the screen. (It will also be displayed in the middle of the screen, if the phone is not connected to a SIP
server).
Another way to display the IP address in a more detailed fashion is as follows:
1. Click the Left Key and select AP Connection.
2. Press the Left (“Menu”) Key and select “IP Info”.
3. A screen with more detailed IP information will then be displayed, as shown below:

and Default Gateway will temporarily be set to 0.0.0.0 and they will then be refreshed with the
new information.

Preferred AP List
The phone keeps a list of APs that you have connected in the p ast. Whenever you power-on the phone,
it will try to connect to your last connected AP.
To view this list, from the Wireless Information screen, pressing the Right (“Options”) Key will pop up a
menu. Use the Up and Down Keys to highlight “Advanced” and press the OK Key. As a result, the
preferred networks screen will be displayed, as shown below:
Figure 14. Advanced wireless settings
This screen will show a list of APs you have connected in the past, with the latest one at the top.
The next time you turn on the phone, the phone will automatically connect to the APs in this list, st arting
with the one at the top. If connection to an AP is not successful, the phone will try to connect to the next
one on the list.
Pressing the Left (“Menu”) Key and selecting “Delete” will allow you to delete the highlighted AP from
the list, as shown below:
Figure 15. Advanced wireless settings - Delete
Pressing the Right (“Cancel”) Key will take you back to the Wireless Information screen without saving
the deletion; whereas pressing the Left (“Menu”) Key and selecting “Save” will confirm the deletion and
go back. If you delete the A P that you are currently connected to, the phone will try to connect to the
next AP on the list.
22
Also, since the APs in the list are arrang ed in descen ding order of preference, moving an AP up on the
list will give a higher preference to that AP. To do so, carry out the following steps:
1. From the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, highlight the desired AP, press the Left (“Edit”)
Key and select “Up”.
2. This will move the AP up one slot in the list. Conversely, selecting “Down” will move the AP
down one slot.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the AP is placed at a desired slot in the list.
4. Pressing the Left (“Edit”) Key and selecting OK will confirm the changes and go back to the
Wireless Information screen. However, pressing the Right (“Cancel”) Key will also take you
back to the same screen without saving the changes.
L Note
If you move an AP from the top of the list, selecting “Save”
will have the phone tried to connect to the AP that is
currently on the top of the list.

The SIP standard requires you to include the “@” sign and
the SIP server domain in the My Phone Number field.
882@192.168.1.1
