Introducing the VSP726

VSP726 Administrator and Provisioning Manual
Network Requirements
A simple VSP726 SIP deskset installation example is shown in Figure 1. A switched
network topology is recommended for your LAN.
The office LAN infrastructure should use Cat.-5/Cat.-5e cable.
The VSP726 requires a wired connection to the LAN. However, wireless connections from
your LAN to other devices (such as laptops) in your office will not impede performance.
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is recommended and must be on
the same subnet as the VSP726 desksets so that IP addresses can be auto-assigned. In
most cases, your network router will have a DHCP server. By default, the VSP726 has
DHCP enabled for automatic IP address assignment.
If no DHCP server is present, you can assign a static IP to the VSP726. You can assign a
static IP address using the VSP726 menu. Go to
Admin settings > Network setting >
IPv4
or
IPv6 > Set static IP
. If you do not have a DHCP server or do not manually assign
static IPs, you will not be able to access the WebUI and/or enable automatic time updates
from an NTP server.
A DNS server is recommended to resolve the path to the Internet and to a server for
firmware and configuration updates. If necessary, the system administrator can also
download upgrade files and use the WebUI to update the VSP726 firmware and/or
configuration settings manually.
Figure 1. VSP726 Installation Example
Some DHCP servers have default settings that limit the number of network IP
addresses assigned to devices on the network. You should log in to your server
to confirm that the IP range is sufficient.
