Chapter 2 Getting Started with the VG248
Configuring Network Settings
Setting the Host Name
The host name identifies each VG248 on your TCP/IP network, enabling you to
access the device using this name rather than the IP address.
By default, this value is set to be the same as the device name registered in the
Cisco CallManager database. This device name is a unique character string
generated based on the MAC address for the VG248 (see the
“Adding the VG248
to Cisco CallManager” section on page 4-2
for details). However, you can use this
setting to modify the host name.
To change the host name, perform these steps:
Step 1
From the main menu, choose Configure.
Step 2
Choose Network interface.
Step 3
Choose Host name.
Step 4
Enter the host name to be used by the VG248.
Step 5
Restart the VG248.
Setting the IP Address
The IP address identifies each VG248 on your TCP/IP network. You must enter
the IP address if you are not using DHCP. The VG248 automatically obtains an
IP address if you are using DHCP.
To assign an IP address, perform these steps:
Step 1
From the main menu, choose Configure.
Step 2
Choose Network interface.
Step 3
Choose IP address.
Step 4
Enter the IP address to be used by the VG248.
Step 5
Restart the VG248.
