Network and connectors
All of the settings for connecting your phone to the local network must be correct to enable commu-
nication with other devices in the network and phone calls via the Internet.
If you use the Web configurator, your phone is already connected to the local network. You can use
the
Network and Connections
menu to change and extend these settings. You can also create set-
tings for phone connections:

VLAN tagging
A local network can be divided into logical subnetworks known as VLANs (VLAN = Virtual Local Area
Network, Standard IEEE 802.1Q). Multiple VLANs share a physical network and its components, e.g.,
switches. Data packets from a VLAN are not forwarded to another VLAN. VLANs are often used to sep-
arate the data traffic of different services (Internet telephony, Internet TV etc.) and to define different
priorities for the data traffic.
You can operate your phone and a PC connected to the PC port on your phone in two different
VLANs. In this case, you enter the VLAN identifiers (VLAN tags) for your VLAN. Your network operator
will supply you with this data.
If an error occurs when you are changing the LAN settings, the PC connection to the phone
may be cancelled and you will no longer have access to the Web configurator.
If this happens, you must re-establish phone access to the local network via the display
(
).
If you operate the PC in a different VLAN from the phone, you will no longer have direct
access to the Web configurator of the phone from the PC.
