used by the VoIP Gateway.
Enter the IP address in dotted format notation, for example 192.10.1.255.

administrator.
DNS Primary Server IP If a DNS server is used on your network, enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.
Enter the IP address in dotted format notation, for example 192.10.1.255.
A DNS server allows you to use domain names, such as www.NortelNetworks.com,
instead of IP addresses when you are accessing other locations on the Internet.
If you do not know the IP address of the primary DNS server you use on your network,
contact your network administrator.
DNS Secondary Server
IP If a secondary DNS server is used on your network, enter the IP address of the
secondary DNS server.
Enter the IP address in dotted format notation, for example 192.10.1.255.
The secondary DNS server is used if the Primary DNS server is not available or does not
have an entry for the domain name you entered.
If you do not know the IP address of the secondary DNS server you use on your network,
contact your network administrator.
NAT IP Address If the VoIP Gateway is behind a router with NAT enabled, enter the NAT IP address for the
VoIP Gateway.
Nortel Networks does not recommend using the VoIP Gateway behind a router that has
NAT enabled.
Enable DHCP Select Enable to enable DHCP support on the VoIP Gateway. When enabled the VoIP
Gateway will attempt to get its IP address from the DHCP server.
Select Disable to disable DHCP support on the VoIP Gateway.
The default value is Disable.
Note: The VoIP Gateway requires a static IP address. If you enable DHCP, you must
ensure that a reserved IP address is assigned to the VoIP Gateway.
SysLog Server IP

run the SysLog Server.
The SysLog Server is an application designed to collect the logs and error messages
generated by the VoIP Gateway.

Enable SysLog Select Yes to send the logs and error message generated by the VoIP Gateway to the
SysLog Server. If you select Yes, you must enter an IP address in the SysLog Server IP
address box.
Select No to send the logs and error messages generated by the VoIP Gateway to the
RS-232 serial port instead of the SysLog Server.
The default value is No.
Note: Due to the increase in network traffic caused by the SysLog messages, Nortel
Networks recommends that you do not Enable SysLog for normal operation. You should
enable SysLog only under the instructions of a trained Nortel Networks service
professional. Syslogs are only used by Nortel Networks support personnel to assist in
troubleshooting problems.
