3 Manual Configuration of a Single IP Phone
Most phones in an enterprise typically require identical configuration settings. Best practice
is therefore to manually configure a single IP phone with the settings you require, and then
to use the delta configuration (the difference between the default and your configured
settings) to automatically provision all phones in the enterprise via DHCP.
This section shows how to manually configure a single IP phone. After manually configuring
a single IP phone, create the delta configuration file as shown in Section 2.2, and place it on
the provisioning server.
3.1 Configuring Network Connections
You can configure IP network connections. For information on configuring Port Mirroring, see
Section 7.5 on page 192 under 'Performing Diagnostics'.
3.1.1 Configuring LAN Connection Type
The phone’s LAN Connection Type can be:
Automatic IP (DHCP) (automatically provisioned by DHCP server from where the LAN
IP address is obtained) (default)
Static IP Address
This section shows how to change LAN Connection Type in the phone's screen and through
the Web interface.
To change LAN Connection Type in the phone's screen:
1. When the phone's screen is in idle display, press the MENU key and then navigate to
and select the Administration option in the Menu screen that is displayed.
Note:
• The default password is 1234. It’s advisable for the network administrator to
change it to prevent unauthorized access.
• To change the default password, use the phone’s Web interface or Configuration
File.
2. Enter the password and then OK.
3. In the Administration screen that opens, select Network Settings.

5. In the LAN Connection Type screen, navigate to and select Static IP.

a. Press the Edit softkey and enter the new address in dotted-decimal notation,
using the following keys:
♦ Navigation control: moves the cursor left or right in the IP address
♦ Clear softkey: deletes the digit to the left of the cursor.
b. Press the Save and then Apply softkey.
7. Navigate to and configure Netmask, Gateway, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS as
you did IP Address.
