Setting up a DECTover IP network lets you use existing Ethernet cabling

Integrating voice and data communication within the Intranet can provide
savings possible and a range of new possibilities. However joint usage of
existing network infrastructure may also cause conflicts, with IP address
configuration via DHCP for example (for details see
on page 190). You should therefore always plan the use of VoIP in the Intranet
together with your network administrator. In order to avoid possible conflicts
please also note the information under
