Forum 523/524 in a LAN with an
IP-enabled Server
In a LAN with an IP-enabled server, you should coordinate integration of the
Forum 523/524 with the responsible network administrator. You must decide
on the IP address space to be used and which network services (DHCP, DNS,
RAS, Internet access) the Forum 523/524 is to handle in the LAN.

In many cases, an IP-enabled server configures the IP settings via DHCP for all
workstations. In networks in which the IP settings are made manually, you
have to enter the corresponding IP settings in the Forum 523/524
Configu-
rator
(
Network: LAN
menu). Additionally you should change the DHCP
server to static address assignment (in the
Network
:
DHCP
menu) to enable
the Forum 523/524, for example to configure connected VoIP system tele-
phones. In certain cases you have to restrict the DHCP function of the IP-
enabled server to ignore the MAC addresses for such terminals.
Dynamic Address Assignment for Specific Devices
In addition to the static address assignment, you can also use dynamic address
assignment if you limit dynamic assignment to specific devices. You can use
this e.g. to easily configure VoIP devices because you do not need to assign a
fixed IP address during setup.
