There are three common IP configuration modes about IPv4
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) – This is the automatic configuration mode by
getting network configurations from a DHCP server. Users need not to configure any
parameters manually. All configuration parameters will be getting from DHCP server and
applied to the device. This is recommended for most users.
Static IP Configuration – This option allows user to configure each IP parameters manually,
including IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS servers. This is usually used in
an office environment or by power users.
PPPoE – This option is often used by users who connect the device to a broadband modem or
router. To establish a PPPoE connection, user should configure username and password
provided by the service provider.
The device is default configured in DHCP mode.
There are three common IP configuration modes about IPv6
DHCP – This is the automatic configuration mode by getting network configurations from a
DHCP server. Users need not to configure any parameters manually. All configuration
parameters will be getting from DHCP server and applied to the device. This is recommended
for most users.
Static IP configuration - this option allows users to manually configure each IP parameter,
including IP address, mask, gateway, and primary and secondary domains. This usually
applies to some professional network user environments.

8.7 SIP Configurations
A line must be configured properly to be able to provide telephony service. The line configuration is
like a virtualized SIM card. Just like a SIM card on a mobile phone, it stores the service provider and
the account information used for registration and authentication. When the device is applied with the
configuration, it will register the device to the service provider with the server’s address and user’s
authentication as stored in the configurations.
The user can conduct line configuration on the interface of the phone or the webpage, and input the
corresponding information at the registered address, registered user name, registered password
and SIP user, display name and registered port respectively, which are provided by the SIP server
administrator.
