Recommended Network Configuration
When configuring a Spectralink IP-DECT Server solution, Spectralink recommends doing it the fol-
lowing way:
l Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 using static IP address
This is to avoid sudden change of the IP address which would temporarily affect all base sta-
tions and thus the entire installation.
l Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200 using static IP address
l Spectralink DECTMedia Resources using static IP address
Like with the servers, this is to avoid sudden change of the IP address.
l Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations using DHCP
This makes it easy to manage many base stations without having to keep track of many IP
addresses.
Note:
When the base stations are set up to DHCP, you need to use UPnP to discover the Wire-
less devices. In Windows Explorer the devices will appear under Network and Other
Devices as “<device name>-<Serial number> “ (e.g. Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500-
8442621 or MR6500-84532341).
Note:
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations and Spectralink DECTMedia Resources can be
managed from the web based Administration Page of the Spectralink IP-DECT Server.
If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server solution is configured as recommended above, it is possible to
assign options to the DHCP server making it extremely easy to configure all media resources and
base stations. If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server is configured using DHCP, it is necessary to
assign a reservation for the device on the DHCP server.
