Configuring settings for the local network
IP Address
Enter an IP address for your phone. This IP address allows your phone to be reached by
other subscribers in your local network (e.g., PC).
The IP address comprises 128 bits and is represented by eight blocks of hexadecimal fig-
ures from 0 to FFFFFF that are separated by a colon, e.g., 2001:b021:189:0:205:5dff:fe6b:87.
The IP address comprises a prefix and an interface identifier. The length of the prefix (usu-
ally 64 bits) is determined by the
Prefix Length
value.
Prefix Length
The prefix length stipulates how many bits of the IP address are used for the network pre-
fix. Enter the prefix length that is used in your network.
Preferred DNS Server:
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System) allows you
to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS server is required to convert the
DNS name into the IP address when a connection is being established to a server.
You can specify the IP address for your router/gateway here. This forwards address
requests from the phone to its DNS server.
There is no default setting for a DNS server.
Alternate DNS Server:
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situations where
the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.

VLAN tagging
A local network can be divided into logical subnetworks, so-called VLANs (Virtual Local Area
Network, standard IEEE 802.1Q). Multiple VLANs share a physical network and its compo-
nents, e.g., switches. Data packets of a VLAN are not forwarded to another VLAN. VLANs are
often used to separate the data traffic of different services (Internet telephony, Internet TV, ...)
and to define different priorities for the data traffic.
If you are operating your phone in a VLAN, enter the identifier of your VLAN (VLAN tag) here.
You get this from your network operator.
Warning
If you enter an incorrect value here, you must reset the phone to its default settings
(
). After this you must re-establish phone access to the local network.
