Static and Dynamic IP addresses
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP is used to assign IP addresses to each device on a network from a central
server. A DHCP assigned address will usually remain the same if the server or
videophone is reset or rebooted, but your IP address may change if you use DHCP
over an extended period of time.
To ensure constant availability of your videophone, you must either register it with a
gatekeeper (see H.323 settings), or fix the IP address by changing the setting from
DHCP to STATIC once configured.
Max Data Speed Select the Max Data Speed using the Right or Left arrow
keys on your key pad. The Max Data Speed feature is for
limiting the bandwidth used for incoming calls. This allows
you to force all incoming calls to connect at a lower speed in
case your gateway/network has a smaller bandwidth than
160kps. Most video calls are symmetrical and transmit and
receive data at the same speed (32K, 48K, 64K, 96K, 128K,
160K, 192K, 256K, 320K, 384K). Asymmetrical mode
allows the user to receive at high speeds (48K, 64K, 96K,
128K, or 160K) but only transmit data at 32K.
Auto Answer The Auto Answer feature is for setting the number of rings to
automatically answer the call. The default is
4 rings.
Use the Right or Left arrow keys to set Auto Answer between
1 RING and 8 RINGS or OFF . If OFF is selected calls are
not answered automatically.
