2.7 Networking/IP issues
2.7.1 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
The FreeSpeak II Base is set to DHCP by default. For fast set-up, DHCP is the
best option to use as the Base Station can be immediately connected to any
network which provides DHCP. Most networks allocate IP addresses using
DHCP. The addresses provided are dynamic and will change from time to
time.
2.7.2 Static IP configuration
If your intercom installation becomes permanent, obtain a static IP address
to avoid the Base IP address from changing periodically.
When linking multiple Bases across a network or networks static IP
addressing is essential. Your network administrator should provide details.
2.7.3 Netmask or subnet
The netmask or subnet divides the network into sectors for more efficient
routing and is required when allocating a static IP address to a Base Station.
Your network administrator should provide details.
2.7.4 Gateway
This setting is optional. It is required if your system navigates across subnets
(as might be the case when accessing the CCM across networks, or linking
systems). If not explicitly stated, Gateway will revert to the device IP
address.
2.7.5 Set static IP details for Base Station
