Network Configuration. Vertical Communications Edge 5000

Below you will find brief information for IP phones Edge 5000. The Edge 5000 phones are Internet Protocol (IP) phones designed to support hosted telephony services over a managed IP network. Based on the open standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the IP5000 series phones interoperate and exchange signaling messages with SIP call servers, proxies and gateways to establish, maintain and terminate calls. Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets transport audio between end-points through the service provider's network.

Network Configuration 3-7

Chapter 3: Using the LCD Configuration Menu

• Move to another parameter with the navigation buttons and continue the session or press the Settings ( ) button to exit the configuration session.

NOTE

- With a password assigned, exiting the LCD Configuration Menu automatically locks the menu.

- Entering an invalid password returns an error message followed by the "Enter

Password" display.

Network Configuration

Under Network Configuration are the Network mode (DHCP or static), various IP addresses,

DNS (Domain Name Service), and other LAN parameters. In addition, the IP phone MAC

(Media Access Control) address can be viewed.

When using the WiFi Module refer to Chapter 5

for the Network Configuration sub-menus.

NOTE

Changing network parameters requires a reboot of the IP phone; when you exit the LCD

Configuration Menu, you will receive a reboot notice. (The IP phone must reboot to utilize the new values entered.)

Network Mode

The IP phone is capable of obtaining all of its IP configuration data from a DHCP server. When a DHCP server is not available, static addressing is used for the Network Mode. Selecting static addressing requires manual entry of other IP network parameters including:

- IP address of the phone

- Default gateway IP address

- Subnet mask

- DNS address

To set the Network Mode:

• Press the Settings ( on

page 3-5

) button. If the LCD Menu is locked, use the unlock procedure

• Press the digit, or move the cursor to 1.Network Configuration using the

[Next]-[Previous] softkeys and press the [OK] softkey.

• Press the digit, or move the cursor to 1.Network Mode using [Next]-[Previous] softkeys and press the [OK] softkey.

• Move to another parameter with the navigation buttons and continue the session or press the Settings ( ) button to exit the configuration session.

VLAN Settings

VLAN settings define the Ethernet frame priority and VLAN identification in accordance with

IEEE 802.1p/Q standards. Separate VLAN tags are assigned for the IP Phone PC port and the

LAN (voice) port. With a VLAN Id assigned, only frames with the assigned Id are accepted, and all SIP and voice frames sent by the IP5000 include the VLAN Id assigned to the LAN port.

NOTE

For proper operation, other network elements (LAN switches and default gateway) must support and be configured with proper VLAN parameters.

VLAN settings are overwritten if CDP is enabled.

Changing the VLAN parameters requires a reboot of the IP phone; when you leave the menu, you will receive a reboot notice. The IP phone must reboot to utilize the new values entered.

VLAN Priority (LAN)

The VLAN Priority (LAN) establishes the priority for Ethernet frames from the IP5000 voice port including signaling and voice packets. Setting the VLAN ID to zero (0) disables VLAN framing and the IP Phone uses only standard Ethernet frames.

To assign VLAN Priority for the LAN (voice) port:

• Press the Settings ( on

page 3-5

) button. If the LCD Menu is locked, use the unlock procedure

• Press the digit, or move the cursor to 1.Network Configuration using the

Frequently asked questions

Connect the IP Phone LAN port to the LAN wall jack with the provided LAN cable. If the LAN port supports PoE, IEEE 802.3af compliant, Class 2, the AC/DC adapter is not required. If not supported, connect the IP Phone power port to the DC out of Power Adapter. Connect the Power Adapter AC plug to an AC wall jack.

The IP phone is capable of obtaining all of its IP configuration data from a DHCP server. When a DHCP server is not available, static addressing is used for the Network Mode.
