Configuring the Spectralink IP-DECT
Server/Spectralink DECT Media Resource
Solution
This section provides you with information on basic network configuration of the Spectralink IP-
DECT Server 400/6500/Spectralink DECT Media Resource solution and the web based Admin-
istration Page.
Note:
Configuration of Spectralink DECT Media Resources and Clusters is not relevant to the
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400.
The web based Administration Page is used to configure the different components of the Spectralink
IP-DECT Server Solution.
Basic network settings can be obtained the following ways:
l
from a DHCP server
Using DHCP the device requests and obtains an available IP address from a DHCP server.
The device also obtains other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, DNS
server, Time server and other IP parameters from the DHCP server.

Recommended Network Configuration
When configuring a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 solution, Spectralink recommends doing
it the following way:
l
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 using static IP address
This is to avoid sudden change of the IP address which would temporarily affect all base sta-
tions and thus the entire installation.
l
Spectralink DECT Media Resources using static IP address
Like with the servers, this is to avoid sudden change of the IP address.
l
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations using DHCP
This makes it easy to manage many base stations without having to keep track of many IP
addresses.
