1.1 Setup
1.1.1 Factory Defaults
Many of the settings for this unit have been configured before the unit ships.
Where possible, these settings are configured with the optimum or most common values for the setting. For
example, the port number of the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) server is set to "5060".
However, many of the settings, such as the address of the SIP server or the phone number, have not been
pre-configured, and they must be modified depending on the usage environment. If the port number of the SIP
server is not "5060", the value of this setting must be changed.
This unit thus will not function properly using only the factory default settings. The settings for each feature
must be configured according to the environment in which the unit is used.
1.1.2 Basic Network Setup
This section describes the basic network settings that you must configure before you can use the unit on your
network.
You must configure the following network settings:
• TCP/IP settings (DHCP [Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol] or static IP address assignment)
• DNS server settings
The unit supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
TCP/IP Settings (DHCP or Static IP Address Assignment)
A unique IP address must be assigned to the unit so that it can communicate on the network. How you assign
an IP address depends on your network environment. This unit supports the following 2 methods for assigning
an IP address:
Obtaining an IP Address Automatically from a DHCP Server
You can configure the unit to automatically obtain its IP address when it starts up from a DHCP server running
on your network. With this method, the system can efficiently manage a limited number of IP addresses. Note
that the IP address assigned to the unit may vary every time the unit is started up.
For details about the DHCP server, consult your network administrator.
Using a Static IP Address Specified by Your Network Administrator
If IP addresses for network devices are specified individually by your network administrator, you will need to
manually configure settings such as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers.
For details about the required network settings, consult your network administrator.
DNS Server Settings
You can configure the unit to use 2 DNS servers: a primary DNS server and a secondary DNS server. If you
set both DNS servers, the primary DNS server receives priority over the secondary DNS server. If the primary
DNS server returns no reply, the secondary DNS server will be used.
For details about configuring the DNS server settings using the unit, or using the Web user interface, see
Configuring the Network Settings of the Unit in this section.
