Configuring Network Parameters
Note
This section describes how to configure the basic network parameters that are required for the phone to
operate on the network. For a complete list of the network parameters that you can configure, see the
“Modifying the Phone’s Network Settings” section on page 3-2
.
The network parameters include those parameters that must be configured on a phone for the phone to
operate in an IP network. You can configure the required network parameters via DHCP or manually
configure them after you have connected the phone to a power supply.
The following parameters must be defined for your phone to establish network connectivity:
•
Phone's IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
Default gateway for the subnet (use “0.0.0.0” if not required)
•
Domain name
•
DNS server IP address (use “0.0.0.0” if not required)
•
TFTP server IP address
When configuring the network parameters of an IP phone, adhere to the following guidelines:
•
Use 0.0.0.0 for unused IP addresses.
•
You can use 0.0.0.0 for the subnet mask only if the default gateway is also 0.0.0.0.
•
The TFTP server must have a nonzero IP address.
•
The default gateway must be on the same subnet as the phone.
