V300 Series User’s Guide
This product is recyclable. Dispose of it properly.
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the V300. It also
introduces the ways you can manage the V300.
The V300 is an IP phone that allows you to make phone calls over the Internet.
Sending voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP (VoIP). VoIP allows
you to call other IP phones, mobile phones or landlines all over the world.
The V300 is packed with features - including multiple lines, phonebook,
conference calls, call transfer, call hold, and many more.
You can configure and manage the V300 directly, using its multi-function keypad
and LCD screen. Alternatively, access the internal web configurator using a
computer connected to the network for remote administrative configuration.
The V300’s Ethernet ports allow you to connect it to your Local Area Network
(LAN) and your computer. Your computer can access the LAN through the V300, as
shown in the following figure. A is your computer, B is your V300 and C is your
modem or router.
At the time of writing, this User’s Guide covers the following models.

Chapter 1 Introducing the V300
1.2 Applications
Here are some examples of how you can use your V300.
1.2.1 Make Calls via Internet Telephony Service Provider
In a home or small office environment, you can use the V300 to make and recei ve
VoIP telephone calls through an Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).
The following figure shows a basic example of how you make a VoIP call through
an ITSP. In this example, you make a call from your V300 (A in the figure), which
sends the call through your modem or router (B) to the In ternet and the ITSP’s
SIP server (C). The VoIP call server forwards calls to PSTN (Public Switched
Telephone Network) phones through a trunking gateway (D) to phones on the
PSTN network (E). The VoIP call server also forwards calls to IP phones (F)
through the Internet.
Figure 1 Internet Telephony Service Provider Application
1.2.2 Make Calls via IP-PBX
If your company has an IP-PBX (Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange), you
can use the V300 to make and receive VoIP telephone calls through it.
In this example, you make a call from your V300 (A in the figu re), which sends it
to the IP-PBX. The IP-PBX forwards calls to PSTN phones (B) on the PSTN
28
V300 Series User’s Guide
Chapter 1 Introducing the V300
network. The IP-PBX also forwards calls to IP phone s (C) th rough an IP network
(this could include the Internet).
Figure 2 IP-PBX Application
1.2.3 Make Peer-to-peer Calls
Use the V300 to make a call to the recipient’s IP address without using a SIP
server. Peer-to-peer calls are also called “Point to Point” or “IP-to-IP” calls. You
must know the peer’s IP address in order to do this.
The following figure shows a basic example of how you would make a peer-to-peer
VoIP call. You make a call on your V300 (A), which sends your call throu gh your
modem or router (B) and the Internet to the peer VoIP device (C).
Figure 3 Peer-to-peer Calling
1.3 Ways to Manage the V300
Use any of the following methods to manage the V300.
• Hardware keys. Use the control keys and LCD menus on the V300 for basic
configuration.
V300 Series User’s Guide
29
Chapter 1 Introducing the V300
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the V300
using a (supported) web browser.
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/
restore.
• SPTGEN. SPTGEN is a text configuration file that you can edit and upload to the
device. This is especially convenient if you need to configure many devices of
the same type.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the V300
Do the following things regularly to make the V300 more secure and to manage
the V300 more effectively.
• Change the web configurator password. Use a password that’ s not easy to guess
and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Keep the V300 in a safe place. The LCD menus are not password-protected, so
anyone using the phone can access your phonebook, SIP account information,
etc.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget y our password, you will hav e to reset the
V300 to its factory default settings to access the web configur ator. If you backed
up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the
V300. You could simply restore your last configuration.

6.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help you as you read through this chapter.
HTTP
HyperText Transfer Protocol is commonly used on the Internet. HTTP is the
primary protocol used for web sites and web browsers. It is also prone to certain
kinds of attacks.
HTTPS
HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL is a web
protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an
application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring
confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data),
authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you
know if data has been changed).
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is an Internet file transfer protocol similar to
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), but is scaled back in functionality to require fewer
resources to run. TFTP uses the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) rather than TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol).

The V300 can be a member of a VLAN group to communicate with the SIP server.
You can assign the V300’s traffic priority that goes through the VLAN group.
In the following example, the V300, a desktop and a notebook are all in VLAN1
group. This VLAN group can access the Internet through a gateway. The VoIP
traffic used by the V300 within VLAN1 has the highest priority, so its VLAN Priority
is set to 7. The WAN and WLAN traffic used by the desktop and notebook are set
to lower priority.

CHAPTER 9
Network Setup
9.1 Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure the V300’s network settings.
9.1.1 What You Can Do in This Chapter
•The Internet Connection screen lets you change your V300’s Internet access
settings (Section 9.2 on page 99).
•The Management Port screen lets you configure the management IP address
of the V300 (Section 9.3 on page 100).
9.1.2 What You Need to Know About Network Setup
The following terms and concepts may help you as you read through this chapter.
IP Address Assignment
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks
are isolated from the Internet (for instance, only between your two branch offices)
you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three
blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.
Table 23 Private IP Address Ranges
10.0.0.0 -
10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 -
172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 -
192.168.255.255
You can obt ain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by
a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access
is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your
local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization,
you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
V300 Series User’s Guide
97
Chapter 9 Network Setup
Note: Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address;
always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address
assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets
and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, computers on
a LAN share one common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If
the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP
addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet
mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you
have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when
the connection is established. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA)
reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any
other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as
the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three
numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual
computer on that network.
Once you have decided on the network number , pick an IP address that is easy to
remember, for instance, 192.168.1.2, for your device, but make sure that no other
device on your network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
device will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that
you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the device
unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
PPPoE Encapsulation
The V300 supports PPPoE (Point-to-P oint Protocol over Ethernet). PPP oE is an IETF
standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a
broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that
works with existing access control systems (for example Radius).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network
services, a function known as dynamic servic e selection. This enables the service
provider to easily create and offer new IP services for individuals.

V300 Series User’s Guide
Operationally, PPP oE sav es significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as
it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site .
By implementing PPPoE directly on the V300 (rather than individual computers),
the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the V300
does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will
have access.
