Some 10 seconds later the telephone system will call the telephone and show you
the IP address on the telephone's display. It should be an IP address from the ad-
dress range of your network. Write down this IP address.
Note:
You can either use an analogue, an ISDN, or an system telephone to
query the IP address. However, the telephone must be equipped with a
display. IP telephones cannot be used for this purpose.
In case the telephone shows as an answer to your query the IP address
192.168.34.100, the telephone system has not received any valid IP address from
your network's DHCP server. In this case please check whether the LAN port of the
telephone system has been connected correctly to a LAN port of your router (or to a
switch connected to your router). Disconnect the telephone system's power supply
and then reconnect it. Wait for three minutes and then again query the IP address.
Changing the IP address at a telephone
This chapter only applies when your telephone system has been connected to a
router or a switch of an existing network, but there is no active DHCP server.
When there is no active DHCP server the telephone system could not obtain an IP
address at start up. In this case its IP address is 192.168.34.100 and its internal
DHCP server with the start IP 192.168.34.10 has been activated.
When you are experienced enough in network technology and you which IP address
you want to assign to your telephone system, you can do so by dialling
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
at any connected telephone. Instead of
"xxx" you will have to enter the four IP address segments. For example: Setting the IP
address 192.168.1.100 would be done by entering the string
.
After dialling that string and picking up the handset the telephone system would send
a positive prompt ("TaTaa"). Then hang up the handset. For verifying the IP address
please dial
at any telephone with a display.
Factory default settings is a class C network with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If
needed you can change this by dialling
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
.
With
you can query the subnet mask.
Configuration access then can be achieved via the IP address set this way.
Note:
After changing the IP address the telephone system's DHCP server still
is active. If needed you can deactivate it via the web configuration.
