Setting the base's IP address in LAN
Prerequisite:
your base is connected to a router or a PC
An IP address is required in order for the LAN to "recognise" your phone.
The IP address can be assigned to the phone automatically (by the router) or man-
ually.
u
If done
dynamically,
the router's DHCP server automatically assigns an IP
address to the phone. The base's IP address can be changed according to router
settings.
u
For manual/
static
assignment, you assign a static IP address to the phone. This
may be necessary depending on your network configuration (e.g., if your phone
is connected directly to a PC).
