Chapter 4: Phone settings configuration
and management
You must configure the phone before it can be used. Mandatory configuration tasks include
configuring the IP address, and using the web portal to set up SIP settings.
You can also perform other configuration and management tasks on the web portal.
IP address configuration
By default, the phone will obtain its IP address from the DHCP server after the line is connected.
Other methods of configuring the IP address are:
• Static IP configuration: This option allows users to manually configure parameters, including
the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. This method can be used in
an office environment or by power users.
• Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE): You can use this option if you connect the
device to a broadband modem or router. To establish the PPPoE connection, configure the
username and password provided by the service provider
