5 CONFIGURATION
5.1 Basic Network Configuration
5.1.1
Determine the IP addressing needs: The IP address of the DAS can be implemented using
one of three methods. Check with the network administrator to determine which method
applies. For phone installations, use “direct connection to laptop” to allow
initial configuration.
•
Static IP address this is a fixed IP address which is assigned by a network administrator and
configured into the DAS; or
•
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address this process assigns an IP address
dynamically to the DAS when it is connected to the network from a host DHCP server; or
•
Direct connection between the DAS and a single temporary computer such as a laptop. (primary
connection will be dialin or dialout by modem)
You will need the following information from your network administrator: The addresses will be in the form of
“###.###.###.###”), where “#” refers to the numbers 0 to 9.
5.1.2
Configure the IP address as selected from the table above. For direct connection to laptop,
the address settings above are set as the factory default, and you may be able to skip to the
“Laptop/Computer Setup” section if the factory default settings are present.
To begin config uration, make sure that the server displays the start screen:
If this screen does not appear on the LCD display, press and hold the menu (top) button on the
server for several seconds and the message should appear. To change the IP address to the
static address assigned by the network administrator, do the following:
