Before installing your IP phone, it is useful to know what kind of IP addressing your LAN or router is using.
2.1 What is the IP addressing of your network?
Most networks, including the Internet, use identification codes IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to
identify and locate the devices that share their services.
There are two systems for assigning these addresses:
DHCP Addressing: With this system, your LAN or router automatically assigns all the
required IP parameters to any device connected to it when the device logs on.
(Some ISPs who use DHCP require a host name, which must be entered manually.)
Note:
Your IP Phone is shipped from the factory with DHCP on, or enabled. So, if your LAN or
router is configured to use DHCP addressing, your IP Phone’s LAN parameters will automatically be
configured as soon as it is connected to the LAN or router and powered up.
Static Addressing: If your LAN does not use DHCP addressing, each device
concurrently connected to it must be assigned its own unique IP address. In this
case, your LAN’s configuration information must be manually entered into the IP
phone. You will need to know the following parameters:
-
IP address
-
Subnet mask
-
Gateway address
-
Primary DNS address
-
Secondary DNS address (required by some systems)
Note:
If your system uses static addressing, this is a good time to make sure know these
parameters, since you will need them to configure your IP Phone. If you don’t know them, contact
your network administrator to obtain the necessary information.
2.2 Connection of the IP phone:
1. Connect handset to the base: insert handset cord into handset jack at the left side of the base.
2. Connect IP phone to Internet: Plug a RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the Ethernet jack named ‘WAN’
of the IP phone. Plug the other end of the cable into an appropriate LAN or DSL/Cable router
port or a HUB.
3. Connect IP phone to a computer if necessary: Plug a RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the Ethernet jack
named ‘LAN’ of the IP phone. Plug the other end of the cable to a computer.
4. Connect IP phone to PSTN line: Plug a RJ-11 line cord into the phone jack named ‘Line’ of the IP
phone. Plug the other end of the cord into PSTN wall jack.
5. Power on IP phone: Plug the power adapter into the Power Jack of the IP phone. Then plug the
other end of the power adapter into the appropriate wall outlet.
