Note:
When using DHCP on base stations, the Spectralink IP-DECT Server must have either a
static IP address or a pre-assigned IP address on the DHCP server. This is to avoid sud-
den change of the IP address which would affect all base stations and thus the entire
installation.
When the base stations are set up to DHCP, you need to use UPnP to discover the Wire-
less devices. In Windows Explorer the devices will appear under
Network
and
Other
Devices
as “<device name>-<Serial number> “ (e.g. Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500-
8442621 or MR6500-84532341).
Note:
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations and Spectralink DECT Media Resources can be
managed from the web based Administration Page of the Spectralink IP-DECT Server.
If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Solution is configured as recommended above, it is possible to
assign options to the DHCP server making it extremely easy to configure all media resources and
base stations. If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server is configured using DHCP, it is necessary to
assign a reservation for the device on the DHCP server.
