Setting Up
In order to get the device ready for making and receiving phone calls, the device must be configured with
correct network configurations and at least one of the lines must be configured with a SIP telephony service.
5.1 Network Configuration
The device relies on IP network connection to provide service. Unlike traditional phone system based on a
circuit switched wire technology, IP devices are connected to each other over the network and exchange data
in packet basis based on the devices’ IP address.
To enable the device, the network parameters must be configured properly first. To configure network
parameters, user should open the network configuration screen through soft-menu [Menu] -> [Settings] ->
[Advanced Settings] -> [Network] -> [Network Settings] from standby screen.
NOTICE! If user saw a
‘Network Disconnected’ icon flashing in the middle of screen, it means the
network cable was not correctly connected to the device’s network port. Please check the cable is
connected correctly to the device and to the network switch, router, or modem.
There are three common IP configuration modes.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
– This is the automatic configuration mode by getting
network configurations from a DHCP server. Users need not to configure any parameters manually. All
configuration parameters will be getting from DHCP server and applied to the device. This is
recommended for most users.
Static IP Configuration
– This option allows user to configure each IP parameters manually, including IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS servers. This is usually used in an office
environment or by power users.
PPPoE
– This option is often used by users who connect the device to a broadband modem or router. To
establish a PPPoE connection, user should configure username and password provided by the service
provider.
The device is default configured in DHCP mode.
5.2 Line Configurations
A line must be configured properly to be able to provide telephony service. The line configuration is like a
virtualized SIM card. Just like a SIM card on a mobile phone, it stores the service provider and the account
information used for registration and authentication. When the device is applied with the configuration, it will
register the device to the service provide
r with the server’s address and user’s authentication as stored in the
configurations.
