•
You can use 0.0.0.0 for the subnet mask only if the default gateway is also 0.0.0.0.
•
Ensure the TFTP server has an IP address.
•
Ensure the default gateway IP address is on the same subnet as the host IP address.
Assigning a Static IP Address
Note
You can only manually assign an IP address if DHCP is disabled.
The IP address is the unique logical address identifying each host computer, or node, on a TCP/IP network. An IP address is a 32-bit number expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to 255 separated by periods.
Each IP address has two parts:
•
Network ID—identifies all hosts that are on the same physical network.
•
Host ID—identifies a specific host on a network.
To manually configure an IP address, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Press the Up or Down scroll button to select IP address.
The current IP address is displayed.
Step 2
Use the < softkey to delete the current IP address.
Step 3
Use the dialing pad to enter a new IP address.
Use the . softkey to enter periods (.) and the < softkey to correct any mistakes.
Step 4
Press the Validate softkey to check the IP address, mask and router. Press the Save softkey to save your changes.
Assigning a Subnet Mask
Note
You can only manually assign a subnet mask if DHCP is disabled.
The subnet mask is used to partition the IP address into a network and a host identifier. The subnet mask is used to mask a portion of the IP address so that TCP/IP can distinguish the network ID from the host ID.
To manually configure a subnet mask, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Press the Up or Down scroll button to select IP Mask.
The current IP Mask is displayed.
Step 2
Use the < softkey to delete the current subnet mask.
Step 3
Use the dialing pad to enter a new subnet mask.
Use the . softkey to enter periods (.) and the < softkey to correct any mistakes.
Step 4
Press the Validate softkey to check the IP address, mask and router. Press the Save softkey to save your changes.
Assigning a Default Gateway
Note

Step 4
Press the Validate softkey to check the IP address, mask and router. Press the Save softkey to save your changes.
Assigning a Domain Name
The domain name is the name of the Domain Name System (DNS) domain in which the IP Conference Station is located.
DNS is used on the Internet for translating names of network nodes into addresses. For detailed information about DNS, refer to Understanding the Domain Name System.
To manually configure a domain name, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Press the Up or Down scroll button to select Domain.
The current domain is displayed.

To enter letters, use the numbers associated with a particular letter.
For example, the 2 key has the letters ABC. For a lower case "a," press 2 twice. Press the 2 key repeatedly to scroll through the available letters and numbers. Pause after the selected letter appears on the display.
Press the < softkey to correct any mistakes. Press the .sp-_ softkey to use a period (.), space, dash (-), or underscore (_) character.
Step 3
Press the Validate softkey to check the name format.
Step 4
Press the Save softkey to save your changes.
Assigning DNS Servers
DNS allows users to specify remote computers by host names, which are character strings with a mnemonic value, rather than by IP addresses, which are strings of numbers.
The Cisco Unified IP Conference Station uses DNS servers to resolve the host name of TFTP servers, Cisco Unified CallManager systems, and web server host names when the system is configured to use names rather than IP addresses.
To manually configure a DNS server, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Press the Up or Down scroll button to select DNS.
Step 2
Use the dialing pad to enter a new DNS server address.
Use the . softkey to enter periods (.). Use the < softkey to correct any mistakes.
