5.7 Assigning Networking Information to IP
Telephones
5.7.1 Assigning IP Addressing Information
The IP
telephone’s IP address, subnet mask address and default gateway address, and the PBX’s IP address
must be assigned to the IP telephone before it can be used on the network. This IP addressing information
can be assigned in the following ways:
For IP-PTs
• Using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) when the IP-PT is on the
same LAN as the PBX
The DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address of the IP-PT, the subnet mask address, and the
default gateway address to the IP-PT.
The PBX’s IP address can also be assigned automatically to the IP-PT in the process of being registered
to the PBX. For details about registering the IP-PT, refer to "5.8.1 Registering IP Telephones".
Note
For information about the DHCP Server feature, refer to "8.1.2 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) Server".
• Using a DHCP server (DHCP Server feature or an external DHCP server) when the IP-PT is on a
remote office LAN
While
the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address of the IP-PT, the subnet mask address, and
the default gateway address to the IP-PT, the PBX’s IP address must be assigned manually.
Follow the procedure below to assign the PBX’s IP address.
If you need to set VLAN parameters, follow the procedure described in "5.7.2 Setting VLAN
Parameters" after assigning the IP addresses, without ending programming.
Note
• By assigning the PBX’s IP address to one IP-PT, it is possible to assign the PBX’s IP address to
other IP-PTs or IP-CSs on the same LAN through system programming. For details, refer to
"9.14 PBX Configuration—[1-1] Configuration
—Slot—Port Property—V-IPEXT—Option—
Announce Mode" in the PC Programming Manual.
• IP-PTs can
only receive IP addressing information from a DHCP server on its own LAN. Therefore,
when IP-PTs are located on several LANs, a DHCP server is required on each LAN.
• Since the default setting of the DHCP client function is enabled for IP-PTs, simply connect the
IP-PTs to the LAN to use the DHCP server.
• For KX-NT511 Users
Since there is no PROGRAM button on a KX-NT511, press flexible button 1, 2, or 3 instead. Also,
there is no Navigator key either. To select items on the LCD, use flexible button 1 for left-arrow
operation and flexible button 3 for right-arrow operation.
