Using a Static IP Address Specified by Your Network Administrator
If IP addresses for network devices are specified individually by your network administrator, you will need to
manually configure settings such as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers.
For details about the required network settings, consult your network administrator.
TCP/IP Settings for IPv6 (DHCP, RA or Static IP Address Assignment)
A unique IP address must be assigned to the unit so that it can communicate on the network. How you
assign an IP address depends on your network environment. This unit supports the following 3 methods for
assigning an IP address:
Obtaining an IP Address Automatically from a DHCP Server
You can configure the unit to automatically obtain its IP address when it starts up from a DHCP server
running on your network. With this method, the system can efficiently manage a limited number of IP
addresses. Note that the IP address assigned to the unit may vary every time the unit is started up.
For details about the DHCP server, consult your network administrator.
Using a Static IP Address Specified by Your Network Administrator
If IP addresses for network devices are specified individually by your network administrator, you will need to
manually configure settings such as the IP address, Prefix, default gateway, and DNS servers.
For details about the required network settings, consult your network administrator.
Using a RA (Router Advertisement)
An IPv6 address can be assigned using Stateless Autoconfiguration. This enables the setting of addresses
for only the router and the node without the need to manage information.
For details about the required network settings, consult your network administrator.
DNS Server Settings
You can configure the unit to use 2 DNS servers: a primary DNS server is DNS1 and a secondary DNS
server is DNS2. The primary DNS1 server receives priority over the secondary DNS2 server. If the primary
DNS1 server returns no reply, the secondary DNS2 server will be used.
For details about configuring the DNS server settings using the unit, or using the Web user interface, see
Configuring the Network Settings of the Unit
in this section.
DNS Priority Using Configuration File
The setting for DNS server(s) may be configured using the configuration files by your phone system dealer/
service provider (→ see "
DHCP_DNS_ENABLE
", "
DHCP_DNS_ENABLE_IPV6
",
"
USER_DNS1_ADDR
"/"
USER_DNS2_ADDR
" (for IPv4) and
"
USER_DNS1_ADDR_IPV6
"/"
USER_DNS2_ADDR_IPV6
" (for IPv6) in
).
•
When "
DHCP_DNS_ENABLE
" (for IPv4) is set to "
Y
", you can manually configure the DNS server address
by using "
USER_DNS1_ADDR
" or ("
USER_DNS1_ADDR
" and "
USER_DNS2_ADDR
"). When set to "
N
", the
DNS server address will be automatically transmitted. This setting is available only when
("
IP_ADDR_MODE
"="0" or "
IP_ADDR_MODE
"="2") and "
CONNECTION_TYPE
"="1".
•
When "
DHCP_DNS_ENABLE_IPV6
" (for IPv6) is set to "
Y
", you can manually configure the DNS server
address by using "
USER_DNS1_ADDR_IPV6
" or ("
USER_DNS1_ADDR_IPV6
" and
"
USER_DNS2_ADDR_IPV6
"). When set to "
N
", the DNS server address will be automatically transmitted.
This setting is available only when ("
IP_ADDR_MODE
"="1" or "
IP_ADDR_MODE
"="2") and
"
CONNECTION_TYPE_IPV6
"="1".
Configuring the Network Settings of the Unit
The following procedures explain how to change the network settings via the unit.
For details about the individual network settings that can be configured via the unit, refer to the Operating
